Kaiya- Day 4

Day 4 of Kaiya's life started out in a bit of a frantic race to get ready for her first doctors appointment. She took forever to feed, which set us a bit behind, and with a 10:15am appointment, it started out being a bit of a challenge. We managed to get her changed, dressed and in her carseat and only ended up being 15 minutes late to the doctors. The elevator was being SUPER slow and there were about 5 strollers waiting in front of me so ulitmately I decided to just take the stairs with her while John parked the car. Wouldn't it figure that the office would be on the top floor of a four floor building? Being 4 days post-partum, four floors is no small accomplishment, but I arrived at the top huffing and proud of myself for doing it. I'll also mention I beat the elevator and arrived before all the stroller toating women. Reason 13 why I love baby-wearing.

After filling out the paperwork, and waiting a considerable amount of time in the "healthy child" waiting area, we were called back for her first appointment. Our first instruction was to strip her down. Doing so we realized she had a wet diaper (good girl!) and then we both realized that we hadn't brought a diaper bag. As a matter of fact, we had left the house without anything baby related except a receiving blanket. Here we were at our first outing, and we essentially got caught with our diapers down. Total. Parental. Fail. Luckily the office was only a 5 minute drive from our house, so we managed to finish the appointment and drive home without any accidents. Kaiya was very forgiving of her new parents. We totally earned a dirty poopy mess, and she kindly restrained herself. Such an angel.

Her weight was 7lbs and 7oz, so she's gained a respectable 3 oz. since returning home with another 5 ounces to gain by the time we go in for her 2 week appointment. Everything else looked perfect. Her physical exam resulted in no concerns. The doctor even commented on how beautiful she was, calling her "model-worthy." I tend to agree, and refuse to believe that she says that to all patients ;)

Being examined by the Dr. is not her favorite thing.

Being soothed by Daddy after the trama.

Other than the eventful morning, we had a nice relaxing day of naps... and more naps. She's a super good baby, and sleeps through most of the night, but we craziness of the week caught up with us. BTW, how CUTE is this outfit? Thank you Adriana, Max and Sofia :)
