1 week doctor appt - Sept 28, 2010

we had haley's first pediatrician visit on september 28, 2010.  she did well, but got extremely hungry/cold/mad once we stripped her down and she was wide awake.  (i fed her right before the appt, but that did not matter!!)  and the pediatric nurse recommended we not give her a passie, so we just let her cry during the appt! ;-(  (that will change at home though!  gotta have a passie sometimes!!)  we are taking her to a group practice with ~8-10 docs.  we saw 2 different docs in the hospital and another one today.  we really like all of them so far!
anyway, haley checked out really well - they said she's in great shape all around.  she has gained weight since we left the hospital:  was 7 lbs 14 oz at discharge on sunday, sept 26, and is 8 lbs today.  her head measured in the 75th percentile, so lots of good brains in there!  she measured 21 1/4 inches long, which is in the 90-95th percentile, and her weight is in the 50-75th percentile.  so, all good numbers!!
i am doing pretty well after the c-section, but have HORRIBlE swelling from my knees down.  feels like my toes are going to pop!  the doc says it's normal and will just take time.  i have not been in any pain except when i laugh, cough or sneeze - that really hurts my cut.  but tylenol typically makes it feel better, so i have taken that a few times.
we have basically set up our dining room as the nursery since i can only take stairs 2-3 times a day, so the main level of the house is pretty much a wreck, but trey has been great at cooking for us and cleaning up the kitchen so that i don't have to worry about any chores!  he's a great daddy!  he is really good with her - loves holding her and talking to her & and has taken her upstairs a few hours each day so that i can sleep.  he got the biggest kick today out of her rooting on his arm for food! 
we are doing very well during our first week at home, and enjoying our little blessing from God. 

Haley changed the channel on daddy when she was sitting in the recliner with him!  HaHa, he already has competition for the remote.  Doesn't she look so tiny here?  She was 5 days old.

First picture with her eyes wide open and almost a smile.  She was 5 days old here.
