On Thursday, Clara had an appointment with the doctors from Dartmouth. The nice thing is that they do a monthly clinic at our pediatricians here in Plymouth, so we didn't have to drive all the way over to Lebanon for the appointment. This was nice since it didn't even last a half hour. They weighed her and measured her and all was good except her weight, They want to see her gaining more weight, so they gave us a formula to use. She was 5 lbs and 10 ounces at this appoint, so she gained 3 ozs this week, since our last weigh in, So Clara is now getting two bottles a day, They would like to see her gaining between 30-40 grams a day, which is an ounce or over an ounce.
We were scheduled to go back in a few days to see our pediatrician to see how the weight gain was going. We went back this morning (Tuesday, September 23rd) and Clara is now 6 lbs and 3 ounces. So the formula is doing its job. She gained 9 ounces.
On Saturday, we had my shower that was rescheduled. It was a very nice shower, with an ice cream theme. I love ice cream. We got many lovely gifts. Thank you to everyone who came, it was so nice to see you all.

Have realized that I don't take nearly as many pictures now that we are home. Will work on that!
