Lucy's doing well. She had her 4 day checkup, had an acceptable bilirubin level, weighed in at 6lbs9oz, up 3 from her 6/6 low at the hospital, which puts a lot of Tracy's and my fears to rest because now we know Lucy's getting enough to eat. We were worried about that. But she's good. Everything checks out. We went to Town and Country Pediatrics, right above the REI on Halsted, and didn't have any issues taking Lucy out, except that she pooped a bunch at some point between getting put in the car seat to driving down Halsted. I know, this blog is gonna be nothing but baby stuff like pooping and doctor's appointments. Oh well. That's what happens. Got a BOB Revolution trailer shipped to REI, so wandered over there after our doctor's appointment. And since we had to change her in the car, I just carried her instead of strapping her back into the car seat. All the other brand new parents had their car seats. Kind of funny. Also saw one of our floor mates from the hospital, also there for the first checkup. Small world. In-laws came over later, did the gardening upstairs, brought nilaga for dinner. Lucy had her first tummy time today as well. Hoping we tuckered her out a little so she doesn't go on her crying jag from 12-3am. Anyway, I'm gonna try posting updates on Twitter and photos at Flickr, if you want to keep track of her: Lucy @ Twitter (http://twitter.com/lucyabando) and Lucy @ Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucyabando/). Still working on something to maybe integrate those. We'll see.
