Marion had her first doctor appointment today. She was just ever so slightly below her birth weight (she was 6 lbs., 12.5 oz today and 6 lbs., 12.8 oz at birth), which is great for being only 11 days old. The guideline is that they should be back up to birth weight by 2 weeks. I had been concerned that I thought she looked yellow, and Dr.Myers agreed that she was a little yellow, but not enough to warrant any action. She said it was normal for breastfed babies to be slightly yellow for up to 6 weeks.
Marion really changed today... she woke up! She stayed awake and alert for about 3 hours today. She really hadn't been staying up for more than 5 minutes before today! We had lots of fun playing with her... she really watched us and interacted for the first time!
