First Doctor's Visit

Riley went to her first Dr's appointment today. We've had a couple of nights where she slept in 3-4 hour stretches but the last two nights have been pretty brutal. She's been waking up and acting as hungry as a hostage at least once an hour. She might have had a couple of two hour stretches last night. Keri got a new nickname from the doc today 'Dairy Queen'. I really like it. Looks like this Dairy Queen drive-thru is open 24/7. Everything was fine with Riley. She weighs 7 lb 15.5oz today so she's actually ahead of schedule. She's supposed to be at her birth weight by day 14 (8 lbs) so she's only .5 oz shy at 9 days old. It's crazy to think that it has been 9 days already! Keri's been worried that she wasn't getting enough milk because Riley always acts so hungry but she's been a pee and poop factory so I've been trying to reassure Keri that she's doing fine. She's just being a normal healthy baby and she must have gotten her appetite from her daddy. That or her fondness for mammaries :)

Very funny Craig... Um, so you haven't mentioned Romeo at all, how's he handling all this? Is he still going potty inside? He was the baby and got all the attention and now it's all about Riley. Poor wittle Ro-Ro, ahhh he's so cute!
