Clean Bill of Health!

Today, I had my third follow-up doctors appointment with the nice people from the hospital. I got a clean bill of health from them. My weight had gone up to 7 pounds 12 ounces (the same weight as when I was discharged from the hospital), meaning that I have gained 7 ounces in two days.

That being said, they put me on a diet, can you believe it?! They said that eating 4 ounces of food at each feeding is nearly double what I should be getting. *sigh* As you can imagine, I'm a bit upset, I was really starting to like it. Mom and Dad say it's the best for me, they feel I might be...umm...weight-challenged, being that I am an Olson and a Wyatt/Jewell.

After my doctor's appointment, we went up to Babies'R'Us to do some shopping for more Wyatt supplies. Dad's excited about the sleep positioner that they purchased, which is supposed to help me feel more cradled in my crib or bassinet. They are both excited about the new bottle warmer that they got me (apparently the old one wasn't being very consistent).

I've been eating Similac formula for the last few days, as a supplement to Mom's milk. Mom and Dad are a bit worried about rBGH in normal formula, so we're switching to Earth's Best organic formula tomorrow. I hope it's yummy, even if it is good for me.

Dad went off for an appointment at Microsoft this afternoon, leaving Mom and I for about three and a half hours. Mom called this a dry run for when Dad goes back to work. I'm proud of her, she took really good care of me while Dad was gone.

Uncle Josh came over this afternoon and had the privilege of being the first person (other than Mom and Dad) to feed me. He was pretty awkward holding me at first, but he got the hang of it real quick. I hope to spend more time with him soon, he was pretty cool.

We're all going to try and go to bed before 1:00am tonight, I'll report back tomorrow and let you know how it goes. Love you all!

P.S. Oh, and for all of my devoted fans out there, I'd love to hear your comments and encouragements. I'd love to hear from you.

Yeah! I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better! I'm sure that takes a lot of stress away from your mom & dad as it does all the rest of us. I see Cisco is quite curious about you. Are you 2 becoming good friends?

Mom and Dad are still a bit scared that Cisco may accidentally step on my face, but they are slowly letting him get closer and closer to me. I've no doubt we're going to be best friends.
