Lexi's One-Week Appointment

Everything looks good! Lexi is back up to birth weight + 1oz. A whopping 8lbs, 5oz, lol. She has no jaundice and just has a little bit of flaky "in utero" skin on her hands and feet that will resolve itself. The doctors do want her to come in for a renal ultrasound because of the skin tag. I thought it was for the irregular heartbeat (they heard it one time at three different check ups while we were in the hospital). George and I are going to go ahead and do it, but I'm not too worried about either thing. They didn't hear the irregularity at all yesterday.

The doctor said they would not do anything about the "skin tag" by her ear. She said they were usually genetic (neither George nor I had heard of one in our families, but Mom told me my Aunt had one removed about 10 years ago - I don't even remember her having one!) and that they don't grow, so it won't be as noiceable when she's older. George is freaking out about kids at school being mean and her not getting asked to prom...I told him he's WAAAAAAAAAAAY ahead of himself, lol. I think it's kind of cute, to tell the truth.



And the "girls" are feeling MUCH better. Just dealing with some engorgement issues. Nothing 20 minutes with the pump can't solve. Lexi is latching on great and the last two nights (*knock on wood*) she has gotten fed at midnight and only woke up once for a feeding before 7am. I had to wake her yesterday so that we could make it to the well-visit on time.
