Developmental Follow-up Clinic

Today was our first developmental follow-up clinic appointment at St. Joseph's hospital. It was a follow-up appointment with the physiotherapist and dietitian where they checked her weight and made sure she was where she needed to be. She also had to redo the car seat challenge, which she passed! Yay! We're so glad to get rid of the car bed, it was very inconvenient. She's in her car seat quite snugly but she cannot be in it for a long period of time. No baby should be in them for an extended period of time no matter how old they are. So they were happy to hear that our stroller is not even compatible with the car seat so that she is able to stretch out. The physiotherapist didn't really have much to say. We need to continue to strengthen her core, but that's expected with a preemie. Dietitian is pleased with her weight gain, especially since she's almost solely breastfed with only one or so bottle a day.

She's now 7lbs 10oz. My once so tiny baby isn't so tiny any more. She's fussy when you put her down, I think it's because she has some reflux issues. She gets quite upset about it all.

It's been a very long day, so I don't imagine I'll get much sleep tonight as I don't think she's going to be able to calm herself down.

Cheers,
