Karcie was two weeks old on Friday, June 10th, which was also her two week doctor appointment. Dr. Foushee was out-of-town so we had to see Dr. Cannady. He turned out to be super nice!
I had all intentions of taking a photo of Karcie's first doctor's visit. The outfit below is what I had Karcie dressed up in (and, she looked adorable); however, as we were waiting to be called in the waiting room she decided to spit-up like a fountain. In fact, it was the most she had spit up the entire two weeks. GREAT!! Just my luck!! It went everywhere including all in the car seat. Luckily, I did pack another onesie, but it wasn't nearly as cute. Thankfully, she did great during her visit and didn't cry one time.
Dr. Cannady said that she looked great. He said she was a little bit jaundiced which was probably from breastfeeding, but was nothing to worry about. He removed the rest of her belly button cord and cauterized it. He was very pleased with her weight gain.....she lost down to 7 lbs. 5 oz. in the hospital and had gained over a pound and a half! Yay! At least I know she is getting an ample supply of breast milk! He said her peeling skin was to be expected and would eventually stop. He said that the two red marks in her eyes were just busted blood vessels that would correct on their own, too!
Here are her two week stats:
Weight 8 lbs. 12 oz.
Length 21 inches
Head Circumference 14 cm
