Keira's First Week, Part II -- First Outing

On Friday morning, Keira had her first doctor's appointment. With our breastfeeding drama at the hospital, I was a little leary. Keira was born weighing 8 lb., but by the time we left the hospital she was down to 6 lb. 11 oz. I was worried that if she hadn't gained back enough weight, our pediatrician may say that she was failing to thrive and suggest supplementing as well. But, no worries, she'd actually gained back more than a pound in about a day and a half. At her doctor's appointment, she weighed 7lb. 12 oz. -- yay! I was so relieved! Everything else checked out wonderfully as well. Our pediatrician said keep up the good work.

Since we were out and about, we decided to make a day of it, sort of by accident. We went to the Chick Fil-A next to the doctor's office for lunch. After eating and letting Eli play in the play place, we packed our two babies back in the car, and they promptly fell asleep. So, we drove the long way to Newnan, to allow for their nap. Then stopped at Babies R Us for some essentials and later Barnes and Noble -- one of Eli's favorite destinations. They have a train table and loads of books -- heaven. All in all, we survived our first outing. Although, Scott and I forgot almost everything except for the babies and a few essentials. We forgot our hospital paper work, the sling and the stroller that Keira's car seat clips into. It really is quite an accomplishment getting out of the house with two kids.

Here are some pictures Scott took at Chick Fil-A of our sleepy girl, and excited boy.
