Alan's still 7lbs 2 oz - hasn't gained or lost since the visit Thursday.
This probably due to unintentional underfeeding on my part - not often
enough or enough supplimental formula. (I'm having a hard time getting
myself organized with feeding, changing, etc.)
Thrush is clearing up.
Circumcision is healing.
Oddly pointing little toes are nothing to worry about (I noticed them
while changing him, they dangle a bit, it's probably from how he was
lying inside me.)
Use vitamin drops after I finish the thrush medicine. She (the nurse
practicationer) gave me a syrnge which will help with the .3 ml dosage I
need to give, I didn't have anything that went that small.
I need to do some tummy time and make sure he turns his head to the side
he doesn't favor - and put Triple Paste Cream on his rash. She wasn't
crazy about using fancy baby lotion on him due to the fact DH and I have
allergies (although I can't recall being allergic to skin stuff, I've
used all sorts of stuff on me).
I have yet another weight check on Thursday and better instructions on
how to feed and suppliment him (basically every 2 hours during the day,
alternate feeds suppliment him, but I will have to deviate a little
tonight because I have my 2 week checkup tonight during one of his
feeding times :( ).
I'm getting tired of the dr visits. I can't drive yet so DH has to drive
me (or my MIL). I STILL haven't been able to get the car seat checked by
the police (its a voluntary thing) in either car and tommorrow may not be
a good day to do it since it will be cold and raw :( I'll feel better
about going places with him when this is done.
We did stop at the supermarket on the way home from his doctor visit. The
nice pharmacist wasn't there (there are 2 there - one I call the grump
and one friendly one) - but the bank manager was in (the bank has a
supermarket branch). He thought Alan was cute, and I told him we'll open
an account when he gets his social security # (how long does that take
anyway?) (I've been banking and filling prescriptions at the supermarket
since 1999, so both services know me pretty well.)

I had my 2 week checkup with the doctor tonight. I *had* to see the one who did the c-section, who is NOT my favorite - probably a good doctor, not the best bedside manner in my opinion. Anyway, my incision is healing fine, its up to me about driving (yeah!). No more percoset, I took the last one tonight - I think I'll be fine on tylenol or ibuprofen. I asked about a repeat c-section, he thinks I'd have to have one unless I had a very small baby. I wasn't thrilled about that, but I didn't feel it was worth arguing about. I do think there are some people who do need them, I didn't think I was one of them - anyway I don't know if I will have another kid (if it will happen) - but maybe next time I might have labor pains...

Oh - I am 2 lbs above pre-pregnancy weight. Since this measurement was taken with me wearing a sweatshirt and sneakers and after dinner, I bet I really could be below it :)

Oddly enought when I was there tonight I was told the insurance company denied my Lamaze class bill. (I had gotten a rejection, but wasn't sure what for). Considering that DH didn't like the class, and I didn't use any of it, I feel I should have gotten my money back - but I paid the bill :(

Everyone wanted to see Alan at the dr's office. I didn't bring him because it was cold and my MIL drove me there. I did bring photos though. Next visit I'll bring Alan and leave a nice photo.

When I came home DH was all confused. He wasn't sure where the diaper stuff was and Alan had squirted. But no harm appeared to be done, even if the diaper was on backwards (I need to spend more time with DH on this - he's good with bottles and burping though.)

I think Alan's due to be feed, better go...
