Mia had her one month checkup on Thursday. She weighed in at 8 pounds, 12 ounces with a length of 21 inches. They clearly don't have a reliable way of getting the length, as I think that actually went down since our last visit and I'm fairly sure she isn't shrinking. As for general health, the doctor said everything was great.
Ashlei also discussed Mia's fussiness with the Dr, and after a few questions he came back with two theories: the dreaded colic (which I'm told simply means "we don't know why your baby is crying) and acid reflux. Who knew babies could have acid reflux... I wonder if they can have carpel tunnel too. Going on the hopes that it is acid reflux, we got a scrip for baby zantac. The doc said it could take up to a week to take effect, but we are already seeing an improvement, so we are excited about that. It is such a marked improvement that Mia has actually slept through more than half of her first post-hospital visit with her mom mom and pop pop from PA. I'd say that is unusual, but it appears she likes to impress visitors and saves the real show for when she is alone with us... how nice of her :)
After the doctor visit, Mia had her first shopping trip with her mother, which apparently went off without a hitch. It went so well, that she tagged along for Mom's pedicure yesterday. Shopping and pedicures, I don't think I like the precedent this is setting...
All in all, it was a great week for Mia, mom, and dad. She is already growing fast, and we couldn't be happier with how great she is doing.
Now it's time to try and explain to Mia the delicate nuances of tonights Duke vs. UNC game. Do you root for evil dressed in blue and white? or evil dressed in a different shade of blue and white? I don't think she's ready for that yet... maybe next year.
