My first...

A day of firsts...

Yesterday we gave Waverly her first bath at home. Of course, its just a little wipe down, as babies are generally clean and only need a bath every couple of days. She fussed a little, but contrary to the way these pictures show her off, she did not scream and cry. She just loves to have her washed and rubbed. Not surprisingly, after her hair was washed it just curled up like mommy's. The verdict is still out on if it will be curly or not. :)

Later on, we loaded up and went to the doctor. Waverly's first pediatrician appointment was today. We made the appointment after meeting with the pediatrician at the hospital, who checks out all the newborns each day they are there. Waverly has a little touch of jondus, but it is such a slight case its not worth mentioning. The hospital pediatrician also noticed a hip click, which is something that I had when I was first born too. The hip click is nothing to be worried about; in most cases the baby just needs to be double-diapered for a couple of weeks. Just to be safe, we have an appointment scheduled for April at UK to check up on her.

We decided to go to Pediatrics of Frankfort based on a couple of referrals and proximity to home. We saw Dr. Jennifer Spath. She was very thorough and pronounced our beautiful daughter as perfect. She'll keep an eye on her hip as well, but the jondus was mostly gone. She weighed in at 8 pounds 3 ounces, so she has already started gaining weight back (most newborns lose a few ounces aftrer birth).
