Well, the doctor was really impressed with Kaitlyn. He said that she seems to be doing wonderful, and that her jaundice is gone.
If you will remember, she was exactly 8 pounds at birth, and when we left the hospital she was 7.5 pounds. Last Friday she was 8 pounds, 1 ounce, so she is gaining her weight back. The doctor said he would have liked her to be closer to 8.5 pounds, but that she was looking good. Her length had her growing that way as well, but the doctor said that isn't always accurate. But at the doctor's, she was 20 inches long, which is up from 19 at birth.
So the doctor wants her back to weigh her this coming Friday, to see if she hits the 8.5 pound mark, but after that, it will be 2 months before she goes back.
