Just a quick update today. Today we had 2 appointments for Caitlin and both of them went great. First, we met with the Pediatrician and Caitlin's weight is up 8 ounces in the last 5 days. She's tipping the scales at 8 pounds 10 ounces. The Doctor said she likes to see at least 1 ounce of weight gain per day and Caitlin far surpassed that. Caitlin's color is also looking great so any worry about jaundice can pretty much be forgotten at this point. Caitlin continues to eat quite a bit and has a big appetite. We don't have to take her in for another checkup for another 3 weeks which was great news.
After that, we went to the hospital for Caitlin's newborn test. They checked her blood for 6 different disease markers which if present can be treated now and not become something that she'll deal with later in life. I don't have the list with me but we should get the result back in the next 2-3 weeks.
I've added more pics to the picture section so be sure to check them out!
