6 Week check up

We just got back from Joslyn's 6 week check up.
GREAT NEWS!!! She is now 8 lbs 12 oz and 21 1/2 inches long! She is in
the 10-25% for her age group. 10% for her weight and 25% for her height. Her head is in the 5th% for age! Poor thing! She may still be a little small but from her last check up (April 25) she has gained one whole pound! So daddy and I are so happy about that!
The doctor put her on a new medicine called Reglan to help with her
reflux. She is still having feeding issues and the doctor thinks it is
from her refluxing while feeding. She gets the new medicine 4 times a
day and she is still on the Zantac 2 times a day. With any luck this
new medicine will help, but if there is no change in 2 weeks she wants
us to go back to her so they can try something else. Our next
scheduled appointment is in one month.
She talked about taking her off the Apnea monitor around 4 months old.
She wants us to start weening her off at 4 months so we get used to
her without it. I think that first night she will not have it on will
be a sleepless night for us. We know she is okay at night because of
the monitor... it will take some time getting used to.

Here is a picture of her taken yesterday. She was looking too cute so
I took a picture of her sleeping in her swing. See her little mouth?
She still has red hair and blue eyes. Her eyes are getting more blue
as the days pass.
WAHOO to 8 lbs 12 oz!!!!!!!

She is still doing wonderfully and the doctor kept on mentioning how wonderful she looks. We mentioned how many milestones she has reached already and how some are 2 month milestones, she said that is wonderful and that she is advanced and there is nothing wrong with that! hehe
All in all... a great and perfect visit!
