Friday Update

Peanut had her first Pediatrician visit today. Peanut weighed 5lbs 6oz. Everything looks great according to Dr. Reynolds, and he is very excited and encouraged. We discussed Jaundice a bit, and he continues to feel it's marginally borderline and no action is needed. Julie and I are still concerned that the 'true' milk is not in yet, but there certainly is no lack of supply of 'transitional' milk. While we are bottle supplementing, to ensure intake, it's only a precaution. The output frequency does not give reason to be warrant supplementing. Aunt Jenny, and Aunt Christina have been very helpful these last few days with the challenges of breastfeeding, and keeping our confidence up.

After visiting with the doctor, Peanut went for a ride to the store, and took a ride in her first grocery cart. We were after some more premie diapers, and some sustinance for mom and dad. It was a fun time, and Peanut remainded zonked out the whole time.

Baby dog still does not know exactly what to make of the peanut, but she is very interested, and pleasantly cautious around her.

Mom continues to sleep in the recliner, and Dad on the couch. Peanut can get frequently restless in the Pack & Play, or in the Bassonette after an hour. However, in Mom or Dad's arms, she's comfy for hours. So for now, its providing the best night time situation.
