First Days Home and First Dr. Appt

We’ve been home since Monday and things are going really well.  Sydney sleeps about 3 hours then wakes up for her bottle then we start the cycle all over again.  I’ve been staying downstairs since I’m not supposed to go up and down stairs a whole lot so I’ve got night shift and Steve’s been really good about doing most everything during the day. 

We’ve been out and about a little bit.  Sydney had her first doctor’s appointment on Tuesday, 8/16/11.  They said she’s doing well, she’s only lost 3% of her birth weight, and her weight matches the weight when she left the hospital, 7lbs 6oz.  We go back for her two week appointment on 8/31/11.  We will be taking her to a physical therapist on 8/26/11 so they can evaluate her neck muscles and see if we need to start some exercises on those.  We may also get an ultrasound on her hips since she was breech but that won’t be until she's a month old.  We visited with Granny and Paw-paw so Paw-paw could see her (he wasn’t able to get to the hospital) and said good-bye to Grandpa yesterday.  Today we rode to town for some Gus food and stopped by Granny’s work to show her off.  Now, Sydney is sleeping all snuggly in her swing.
