Eric has high hopes for Miss Natalie as a good luck charm for the upcoming Brewers season. He correctly recalled that the year we got Bernie, the Brewers made the play offs. So, of course lots of good has to happen this season, since we had a baby! Unfortunately, her luck has limits because she wasn't much help in the Badgers pulling off a victory in the Rose Bowl. But, give the kid a break, she's not even a week old yet...
Rose Bowl buddies: Dad, Natalie, and Bernie
Sound asleep
Today was our first trip out of the house for Natalie's pediatrician appointment. It was largely a success! We got there a few minutes early and in one piece. And Natalie was perfectly behaved, save the mess she made in her diaper seconds before the doctor walked into the room. But, again, still less than a week old!
Her jaundice has improved and she has gained back some of the weight she lost right after delivery. Born at 7 pounds 13 ounces, she weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces when we left the hospital (which the doctor assured me was well within normal range--they apparently only worry if the baby loses greater than 10% of her weight). Today, she weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces! Good girl. For anyone who has seen her suck down a bottle, it should be no surprise that she is gaining. I'm such a proud mama.
Good news on the doctor's appointment, and trip out!!
