A day of doctor's

Today we had lil miss C's first appointment at the doctor's office and my two week follow up appointment at my doctor's office. Luckily since the weather is really cold, Mr. C had the day off and was able to take and go with us to our appointments. We started the morning with lil Miss C's appointment. We got acquainted with the office, filled out first time patients paperwork and then headed back for her check up. The nurse took her vitals, she weighed in at 7lbs, 14 oz, was 21 inches long and her head circumference was 14. We then feed her while we waited for the doc to come in. When the doc came in, we talked about some things, how we were doing, family/friend connections in the office,  our & our families medical backgrounds and then about her health. He was pleased with her weight and her coloring, she is still a good pink color--no signs of johndice. Her umbicial cord has still not fallen off, so he showed me how to clean it better and applied some medicine to help it fall off. We discussed how the appointments would go and gave us a growth and development diary to bring with us to each appointment that the nurses would keep track of her vital signs, he also showed us the percentile charts and where she fell on them and why they track things. Like they measure head circumference to track the development of the brain. I was very glad that Mr. C was actually able to go to this appointment with us as it was very informatitive. After her appointment we headed to grab some lunch and kill some time at Babies R U before my appointment. We were looking for a Christmas dress but so far I have had no luck finding anything i like in the price range i am willing to pay. My appointment went well, i weighed in at 132 lbs, blood pressure was 118/68, and doc said the incision was looking great and she thinks you will hardly be able to see it. I asked about my activity level and what i could do: she said i can walk as much as i want to, still no heaving lifting, no exercises that will work the core muscles a lot, no vacumming or lifting laundry. But i did get the all clear to drive as long as i am not taking the persicat during the day and i will have the all clear to do anything after my 6 week appointment. Now i just wish i had a treadmill at home.
