Olivia's First Doctors Appointment

On September 1st, we took Olivia to Dr. Hopkins for her very first pediatrician appointment. While in the hospital, Olivia lost 3 ounces but already gained one ounce back before we were discharged, so we knew she was thriving and gaining weight. Dr. Hopkins checked her out and weighed her and our little girl weighed 7.4 lbs already, at just 5 days old! Unfortunately, Dr. Hopkins had a cold (thus the face mask) and so our pictures of him look a little different, as he normally doesn't wear a mask. After weighing her, he checked Olivia out and listened to her heart beat. He made sure Sofia got to listen to Olivia's heart beat and we all took turns listening to our little girl's heart. Dr. Hopkins was very impressed with her progress and kept telling us that she was doing great.

Sofia loves holding Olivia and is very careful to support her neck and head and is always so proud when she's holding her.


Olivia and Dr. New, who delivered her. Since we don't have a photo of Dr. New and Olivia right after she arrived, I figured this would be the next best thing....
