The first doctor visit was kind of hairy. It was the first time we'd been out since leaving the hospital, but we managed to survive. Maya initially hated her car seat and I was nervous this trip would be a disaster. (Car seat harnesses are designed really badly, btw.) Two days after we had gotten home from the hospital, the visiting nurse stopped by. She came at a really good time because I had been trying to feed Maya for 2 hours beforehand, was completely overwhelmed and bawled for about two hours. Maya is sometimes very ravenous and gets frustrated. Fortunately, Judi calmed us down. Anyway, that wasn't the point of the story. Judi weighed Maya and she'd lost 4 oz since birth. But, by her first doctor appointment that Friday she'd gained 3 oz and was almost back to birth weight in a week!!
