So, since my previous blog where I mentioned that we had a so-so check-up at the pediatrician, we have had some good news! We went for a re-check on Friday where Kinsley had gained 5 oz in 3 days on the new formula, and her jaundice levels went from 12 to 7! Then, at our appt this morning, more good news: our baby girl now weighs a whopping 6 lbs 12.8 oz, is now 19.5" long (2" since birth), and the jaundice is GONE!!! Such good news considering that her lowest weight after birth was 4 lbs 11 oz. Our baby girl is growing! We are now sticking with a dual formula / breastmilk diet that seems to be working! This was also big for me today as this was my first time venturing out alone with her. I definitely drove a little slower than normal. And lucky for me, she really likes being in the car! I am so ready to take her places other than the doctor's office - just a few more weeks until we can go shopping and out to eat around large crowds. She hits her 6-week mark on Thursday and we are both going to the OB to visit Dr. Marshall (who delivered her) for my 6-week post-partum check-up. Hopefully, I get the go ahead to begin being active again since I feel like I am recovering well from my c-section! And yes, Thursday also means I am halfway through maternity leave. :-( Time flies...
