Bella Update

She had her follow up appt this morning. I made sure she nursed well before we left and the results are in....

In 2 weeks (14 days), she gained 23.75 oz!! Holy Moly! She's officially over 13lbs. I can now stop stuffing her with food (which is what I felt like I was doing) because we don't want her gaining this much so fast. LOL I feel like I'm backpedaling now. I knew in my heart that there was nothing wrong with her, she's just a peanut.

She got her vaxes and even the flu shot. The boys never had it and for some reason, I feel like they need to get it now as well as dh and I, especially with Logan in school. I'll have to back in a month for the 2nd shot for her and I need to make an appt for the boys too. I fed her when we got home and she ate a lot! 1/3 cup of yogurt mixed w/oatmeal plus I made her some plain oatmeal with a little brown sugar and pear juice. Then she nursed on top of that. I think I've created a little piggy. ;)

Karlise that's great news. Us Mom's have that gut feeling when it comes to our kids whats the best for them. You were totally right imo! I always say Drs. aren't God...they dont' know everything.

I wanted to tell you...this is the first time we've ever done flu shots. Andon got his last week and will get the second part of it in 2 weeks. Hayley had to have one also. With her asthma that's triggered by colds if she got the flu it would be awful. Jason and I have yet to get one but are planning to.
