This morning we took Zoey to her well baby check up and she weighed in at a whopping 5lb 9oz! That is 4oz above her birth weight and 5oz above what she was on Friday when we took her in for a weight check. Not only is she gaining weight, she is also growing in length. She is now 19 1/2 inches long, which means she has grown a whole inch. I’m so proud of my little munchkin and I’m so happy that she is growing so well.

We had to take her back to the hospital after the doctor’s visit so they could re-do some blood tests that they had originally done when she was born. I guess the OK State Dept. of Health’s machines broke so a lot of people were having to re-do these. It sucked having to watch her have her heel pricked again. It breaks our hearts when they do that because it is sooo painful to infants.

We’ve also noticed some goop coming out of her eyes and they are matted shut when she wakes up so she was diagnosed with clogged tear ducts. So now we have to boil water with baking soda and drop it into her eyes (once it’s cooled, of course) 3 times a day and massage her tear ducts. This little girl isn’t gonna let us off easy, lol.

I’ve been a bad mommy as far as pumping goes today. Been a REAL slacker. We were gone almost all morning with the doctor’s appointments and this afternoon I’ve just been tired. Today is a gloomy day and I think between Gene and I both, we’ve had a mild case of The Grumps.

I had my incision checked yesterday at my OBGYN’s office and it looks like a tiny segment of it might be infected. I’m going to start taking antibiotics and go back in a week to have it checked. The rest of the incision looks great and has healed nicely. At least it doesn’t hurt anymore and it is becoming a lot easier to get up and down now. I still can’t sleep laying on my side for too long or it causes some discomfort but hopefully in the next week or two, all will be back to normal.
