Our 2nd visit to the pediatrician

Last Friday Inara had an appointment with Dr. Kaplan. At her weigh in, she came up at 5 pounds 14 ounces. She had another doctor visit today and she weighed 6 pounds 1 ounce. Dr. Kaplan said she's obviously eating well and getting milk from me since she gained a few ounces in the past week. Yay Inara! A funny thing about Dr. Kaplan is he was my pediatrician when I was a kid. He's definitely aged a bit but still a totally cool doc. Shawn and I love him because he's so straight forward and answers all our questions before we even ask them. He makes us laugh because he always tells us to STOP THINKING. He says the biggest mistake new parents make is trying to figure babies out, which is impossible since there is no rhyme or reason to what they do, especially this early on. He must really know me because he always tells me the days of being organized and on a schedule are a thing of the past at least for now. Boy, do I realize this more and more each day. Although, Inara has been really good the past couple nights sleeping for longer time spans. Last night I actually slept for almost 4 hours straight. That's a novelty these past 2 weeks. But every night is a new adventure and we never know what to expect from the little one. It's all good though because she is just too cute to be mad at for a silly reason like losing sleep.
