The appointment with the pediatrician went well. Aubrey hadn't gained any weight which she didn't like, but she said she sounded and looked good otherwise. She said to continue trying the bottle feedings and to let her try them if she still seems hungry after a tube feeding. She gave us a referral for speech therapy; she also said she would rather us work with the ones from MCG/GRU because they know premature babies better than a private person probably would. She's going to try to get in touch with them for us since they won't seem to call me back. We asked about 50 questions and found out that the majority of what we're worried about with Aubrey is normal. Good to know that we're just regular old worried first time parents. She wants to see us back on Friday to weigh Aubrey and see if she's gained any.

Dr. Leverett called me and said she talked to speech at MCG and they would be calling me. I tried not to hold my breath. Well, about 5 minutes later they did, in fact, call me. They said that the order had been written as an inpatient order instead of an outpatient one, or as if Aubrey were still in the hospital. That's why they didn't call us. So, they got that figured out and we're going Monday to see the speech therapist.

We took the new stroller out for Aubrey's first walk around the neighborhood this afternoon. Aubrey was unimpressed--she slept the entire time. Then she had a bath and proceeded to sleep through her first manicure (or me cutting and filing her fingernails while she was on my lap).
