Birth weight!
We did it! Olive is 2 weeks old today, and at this morning's weigh-in, she was exactly at her birth weight. Hooray for Olive and Mommy!
This weight was gained on mama milk alone. No formula or donor milk for this kiddo. This may not seem like a big deal, but in context of what we went through with Penny, this is a huge victory! Olive is a total sweetheart, and our family is very blessed.
Oh yeah, and happy MLK and Inauguration and all that other stuff.

She looks very healthy and adorable. Congratulations on her successful weight gain and on two wonderful weeks as a family of 4.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! She looks beautiful and healthy! Curious, did your hip pain go away as soon as you delivered?
ReplyDeleteHi Kate, actually, no. I went to PT again a few days after the birth and it didn't help at all. I think the PT I went to was kind of crummy. I talked to my family doc, and she referred me to a massage therapist who is a former OT and specializes in pregnancy and postpartum work. I went to her, and she totally fixed me right up. I was super sore for a couple days from the intense massage work, but now I am so much better. She said the ligaments were stretched out and the muscles tightened to compensate, so she worked on the muscles to release them. I still have a slight twinge of pain when I stand on one foot, but I can walk and function regularly without pain, so I am very happy with that.
