First Doctors Visit

Because Karlie was a month early we had to go in two days after she came home to have her jaundice level and weight checked. On the day Karlie was born she weighed 5 pounds and 15 ounces. The day we left the hospital she weighed 5 pounds 12 ounces. When we got to the doctors office they had us undress her so that they could weigh her. She weighed 5 pounds 3 ounces, so tiny! She checked out great every where else.






I really like her pediatrician, Dr. Straughn. We decided to use him because all three of my nephews go to him and they really like him. He and his staff are all very nice and professional. Dr. Straughn does not rush us, he takes his time and sits down to visit with us and answer ALL of our many questions.

Because she had lost so much weight they want us to bring her back on Friday to check her weight. They want her to start gaining weight from here on out and hopefully she will be back at her birth weight by her two week visit.

Love,
Kyle, Shanda and Karlie
