We had two doctor appointments today--urologist and pediatrician--and both went well! First was the urologist at 8:45am: this directly interfered with Ava's feeding time so we (Mom and me; Craig is working) were going to wake her early and feed her at 7:00am...well, she decided not to go back to sleep after her 4:15 feeding until nearly 6:00, so I put her in her cradle and showered (I've been waking up drenched in sweat ever since I got home from the hospital, it's hormonal) and then fed her and we left. She had an exam and ultrasound and her kidneys are looking pretty good, but they put her on antibiotics and are scheduling her for a voiding cystogram next week. They'll have to fill her bladder and watch her pee to make sure there isn't any reflux in her kidneys. Ugh...I am NOT looking forward to taking my baby to the hospital to be cathederized...poor kid!
After the urologist we stopped by Starbucks for awhile, which was nice and relaxing for Mom and I, then home to feed Ava and feed ourselves before going to the pediatrician. At the two week appointment, the doctor is checking (among other things) to make sure she's regained her birth weight. That means Ava would have to be back up to 8 lbs. 13 oz....and she weighed in today at 9 lbs. 3.5 oz.! So, she's doing very well! We like our babies fat and happy. :o) Everything else seemed to check out okay except they want to do an ultrasound on her tailbone in a few weeks to take a look at something but she should be fine.
That is all...I can't do any picture updates at the moment, maybe this weekend....

YAY! Happy little baby piggies are wonderful, aren't they?
Melissa,
I'm so glad to hear that everything is going well with Ava. She is soooo cute!!!!
And kudos to you -- the fact that she is over her birth weight at 2 weeks is great!
Take care,
Jen
