1st Docotor's Appt.

Raija had her first check up today, and she is doing great! She is over her birth weight 7lbs. 5oz. which is what they want to see and we found out they measured her wrong at the hospital she is actually 19in. long. We had lots of questions and got answers for all of them. Her jaundice is better and should continue to get better, we are so glad we are done with feeding every 2 hrs. I was very very excited to hear I do not have to wake her anymore in the night to feed her. She is getting plenty of milk and now I can let her sleep until she notifies me she is hungry. Yay, more sleep for baby and me! We did find out the muscles on one side of her neck are a little tight and need to be stretched daily to prevent shortening of those muscles. She does not like it so this will probably end up being a job for dad. He is so strong and is able to do the things that make her cry and breaks mom's heart for example getting blood drawn, suctioning her boogies, and now stretching her neck. I am so thankful I have such great help!! All in all Raija is just wonderful and we are enjoying watching her grow day to day! Now she is pooped and napping like an angel, and so is daddy!!
