2 months old and a week's worth of doctor visits

Gracie is 2 months old! Can you believe it? I am still thinking she should only be a couple of weeks old since that is how long she has been home. She is doing great. We had a well check on Monday with the pediatrician.

Pedi--

weight: 4 pounds, 9 ounces

length: 17 1/2 inches long

Percentiles: Not on the charts because she is not supposed to be here yet!

She said that she looked great and couldn't believe how well she was doing. We have to go back in a couple of weeks for a weight check since she lost a little weight since the week after she came home. I think and am pretty sure that it is just because they weighed her with her clothes on but we will double check for sure. She got three shots and an oral vaccine but she did great. She was a little fussy but not too bad. Tuesday she was back to her normal self.

Thursday: We had appointments with the cardiologist and eye doctors.

Cardiologist--

I took Gracie last week and he was concerned about a valve that had a high blood flow through it. He didn't see it in the NICU so it bothered him. Today we went back and the PDA is closed (that was the problem in NICU) but the valve had a higher blood flow. He said that the valve was not damaged and since it is not causing Gracie to have any problems, he just wants to keep a close eye on it. With this, we just have to watch her breathing patterns and let him know if she has a hard time or starts huffing and puffing. He said that doesn't have a good answer on why this is going on and was sorry for that, but the main thing is he is going to keep watching it. He said that it was bothering him more than it was her and to come back in three weeks! A pretty good visit overall.

Eye doctor--

This was a follow up to 2 weeks ago. Last time we were there, Gracie's retina's were not developed all the way. The eye doctor visit was probably the best of today. Gracie's retina's are now fully developed and there shouldn't be any effects later on, so we go back in a year, Yeah!!!
