Here's Reagan and I at her first doctor's appointment. We had a homecare nurse come on Friday after we got home from the hospital and Reagan had lost 10% of her birth weight. The pediatrician wanted us to come in and have her weight checked on Saturday. She was down to 5 lbs, 13 oz so we needed to begin supplementing with formula. The practitioner that we saw also thought Reagan looked a little jaundice, so it was back to North Memorial to have a heel prick test. We were instructed to continue coming back to the pediatrician until Reagan had put on more weight. Luckily when we went back on Sunday, she was back to her hospital discharge weight. On Monday, though, she had her 1 week checkup, so that was three days in a row at the pediatrician. Reagan and I went in again yesterday for a weight check and she gained 6 oz more, so we're doing well! On top of Reagan's appointments, I had to go back to the doctor last Monday because my blood pressure was still high. They put me on medication and will keep watching it for the next couple of weeks.
