We woke up today from about the same kind of night as the previous. I told LA we needed a plan of action so we could make sure we left on time and were not late. It’s a little different now – can’t just sit back and load up the car 30 minutes prior to the appointment.
Aubrey loved her first car ride of more that 10 minutes. We made a mental note in case she ever starts crying uncontrollably.
When we got to the doctor’s office, I noticed that it was overflowing with kids which is a good thing. While we were waiting a 2 year old approached Aubrey and wanted to see her and LA showed Aubrey to her. Then out of the corner of my eye I see her touching Aubrey’s hand. You would be proud of me because I didn’t say anything to her mother. I was wondering how long LA was going to let it go on. Come to find out later she was thinking the same thing – “Hello, she is two days old and when’s the last time you washed your hands”. Next time Aubrey will wait in the car until she is called.
Aubrey has lost 9 ounces – she was down to 8lbs. It is within the acceptable range and we are shooting for 8lbs 9oz by her next appointment in two weeks. Dr T checked her out and said everything looks good. He reassured us that were both (Aubrey and Us) figuring this thing out – Aubrey had the good life where everything was done for her and now she has to learn how to do it on her own. I know we don’t know what we are doing. He told us what we already knew – We are in survival mode for two weeks. We’re happy with our choice of pediatrician. It is worth the drive.
Aubrey loved the car ride home! She was knocked out.
