2 week check up

today i took london in to see dr. newcombe for her 2 week check up. she was born at 7 pounds 7 ounces, left the hospital the next day weighing 7 pounds 6 ounces and at her two day check up she was back up to her birth weight.
this morning i asked dave what he thought she would weigh today and he guessed 8 pounds 3 ounces. well, he was just an ounce off as she weighed in at 8 pounds 4 ounces.
the dr. came in and said "well, she's had a good weight gain. and then some!" she said everything was looking great with her and we don't need to bring her back until she is 2 months.
i talked with her about some questions we were having. we had one day last week where london didn't poop for over 24 hours. and now when she poops it's usually once, maybe twice a day and very runny (too much info?!). she said that was no problem and some babies are just like that. she is gassy quite often but so far the mylecon drops seem to work for her.
we also were wondering about her feeding. she has been eating 2 ounces, and once that 2 ounces is gone she's still acting like she is starving. but when we've given her another 2 ounce bottle shortly after eating it she'll either spit up or she'll start gagging. the dr. said she may be ready to make the jump to eating more, but her stomach isn't. so we need to just give her 2 1/2 or 3 ounces at a time and go from there. she did say we could try a 4 ounce bottle at bedtime to try to really fill her up so she sleeps well.
as far as sleeping goes, she is great. we woke up this morning to her wanting a bottle at 5:30...she had slept 6 hours!!! most nites she still sleeps somewhere between 4-5 hours at a time. the only problem is, once you feed her you can't just lay her down right away. i usually have to sit up and rock her until she is completely asleep before laying her back down, otherwise she'll just wake right up and start crying. so a feeding might only take about 5-10 minutes, but i end up staying up for a half hour to an hour trying her to get back to sleep so that i can! but i guess how can i complain that much when she does sleep for such long periods at such a young age!
the other thing i learned that i screwed up on was the bath. apparently, just because the cord feel off doesn't mean she can have a bath in a tub. the skin has not completely healed yet, so we need to give her sponge baths until it does. oops. sorry about that, london!
