Sarah's First Dr's Appt
Yesterday we had Sarah's first dr's appt. She did extremely well in the car - she LOVES her car seat. She didn't make a peep the whole way there or back (which is about an hours drive total). On the day we were discharged, Sarah weighed 5 lbs 15 ozs. At yesterday's appt she weighed 6 lbs .5 ozs. Needless to say, she is a great eater :-) That was the only measurement that they took yesterday. She has another dr's appt on Christmas Eve so they will probably updates the others then. Before taking her weight, we had to change her into a clean diaper. She had a little stool in her diaper and it had red in it. We saved it to show the dr and he tested it for blood - it came up positive. The day before she was really constipated so it could be from that, or some babies have a little blood during transition from the meconium poop to the real poop, OR it could be that she has an allergy (at least right now) to the protein in cow's milk. He gave us a sample of a hypoallergenic formula to try if the bloody stools continued. So far, she has not had anymore bloody stools, so hopefully it is from one of the first two reasons. The dr continued to check her out and she is completely healthy. YEAH - this is such good news with all that she has been through as well during this pregnancy!!!
