1 Week Well Check

Lucy had her 1 week well check with Amy today.  It's a couple of days early but actually worked well since Jared is off today and I am still not allowed to drive until Aug 25th.

She weighed 7lbs 4oz which means she's already lost 7oz.  I was "scolded" for feeding her on demand.  Apparently, it would serve us well if I try to space out her feedings to every 2-3 hours.  I am also to encourage her to nurse for 20 mins minimum.  She tends to get lazy and fall asleep within a few minutes but I need to do my best to wake her up.  It's been hard for me to hear her cry which is why I started feeding her on demand, but I guess I will have to be strong and stick with the "schedule".

Speaking of hearing her cry, Lucy had her blood test today where they pricked her heel to get a sample.  I am so glad that Jared was there because there was no way I could have held her down while she cried like that.  I felt like crying myself!

Afterwards, we had a long nursing session followed by a very long nap.

On the way home, we stopped by Uncle Kipp's shop, Lucky Bike.
