First Doctor's Visit

Today was a very eventful day for Miss Hannah! We went to the doctor today for her newborn wellness checkup and while she didn't much like being naked with a cold stethoscope on her chest, the doctor said everything was great... she was beautiful and healthy. Today she weighed 9 pounds, 2 ounces - 7 ounces less than she weighed at birth. But, since most babies lose about 10% of their birth weight, this was a good sign that she is eating well. Here are some pictures of her at the doctor's office.




After the visit to the pediatrician, we took Hannah to see our chiropractor, Dr. Myshka. He does a lot of pediatric consultations, since the whole birth process can be rough on them. But, he said everything was in alignment, which was good to hear. Perhaps it's because I pushed her out in 8 minutes?
Lastly, this afternoon, after we all took a long nap (Daddy, Mommy, Hannah and Remy), Hannah tried out her new play mat. We tried a few minutes of tummy time, but she was not loving it. But she did love just lying there and looking up at all the colorful animals!

  1. So glad that everything went well at the doctor's office! I can't believe how old Hannah looks! She just doesn't look like a newborn at all! The pictures of her on her play mat are sooooooo cute!

  2. We're so happy that you all are healthy and doing well (minus some sleep!) and we can see how quickly Hannah's arrival has rounded off your family. She sounds like she won't have any trouble making up her mind on what she likes or doesn't! I love the picture of the doctor cradling her and talking to her!
