Two Day Doctor Appointment

DSC00085 - Copy

Because of my GBS status and the fact that Hannah and I only got 45 minutes worth of antibiotics rather than the recommended 4 hours during labor and delivery, she had to have a CBC done soon after birth as well as a quick follow up appointment with the pediatrician the day after we got home from the hospital.  Her bloodwork was fine and she checked out perfectly at the doctor. 

Here are her stats:

Length            16.9 inches           50th percentile

Weight              7 pounds             30th percentile

Head                    34.6cm              50th percentile

We returned for a appointment at 5 days of age for a routine check.  She had gained back 2 ounces, was mildly jaundiced, and doing well overall!
