Day 24 Continued
The doctors appointment went well! Getting down there via Edmonton Transit was a breeze. Getting home was a little bit more of a challenge due to the crowded bus, but we made it!
Mika's doctor is really quite pleased with her progress. She's gained weight (9lbs, 12 oz), her head has grown (didn't get the measurements), and she grew another 2cm in length. The doc says she must be getting a good dose of breastmilk daily as that is the cause of Mika's baby acne. She's taking in my estrogen via the milk. The condition typically peaks at 5 weeks old and slowly tapers off from there. My poor baby...she looks like a miniature 14 year old.
Mika has been given the doc's OK to start using a pacifier. Funny...Daddy and I had tried giving her one earlier and she would take it for all of 30 seconds. I tried again after we got home with the doc's OK and she's loving it. Almost like she understands english and was waiting for the green light from a better authority than her parents.
Mika has also been given a prescription for vitamin D drops...gotta make sure she's absorbing that calcium!
Mika went and visited the law firm where Mom used to work many years ago. She was a hit, as usual. We went up and visited with Grandma after so Mika could be fed a bottle by anyone other than her Mom..and to visit with her other friends up there.
Thanks to Kathy and Carla for a wicked cute card, jeans, and pink mouse tshirt! I don't know of a baby who is even nearly as spoiled as Mika. She really lives up to her Princess status.
Weather is not supposed to be all that great tomorrow..we may be housebound!! God help us all...
Even though it was getting late and we didn't get there til 7PM, Mika went for a visit with her great great granny today. If its snowy and cold, Mika's doesn't go out in the evenings.
