We went to the Dr. yesterday for both Jessica and Dylan. Our pediatrician likes to schedule all of the well child check-ups in the morning and the sick visits in the afternoon. This makes it very easy because we usually get in and out.
The two week check basically consists of a general check-up, weight and height, that sort of thing; as well as another newborn screening test to make sure that they did not miss anything from the one at the hospital.
Dylan weighed in at 7 lbs. 7 oz., and 20 1/2 in. long, which means he has gained 12 oz. and 1 1/4 inches since birth. We are very excited, because the doctor gave us the okay to let him sleep as long as he wants, but that we just need to make sure he eats 8 times in a 24 hour period.
Last night was our first test at this and he did pretty well. We gave him his normal feeding at 11 pm, he woke up at about 2:30 ready for more and then slept all the way to 6 am. We are sure it will take a little while for him to realize we are not waking him up to feed him.
Jessica's check-up went great as well. The nurse removed all of her sterile dressings that covered the incision. It all looks great and they told her that she can drive now and a little of activity is okay, but to not over due it. Jessica is very excited because she was getting a little stir crazy just being in the house all day.
