Tori had her one month check up on July 21st with Dr. Aliwalas, our family practitioner. So far everything looks really good. Tori has definitely been growing. She's now 8 pounds 11 ounces and is a long 22.5 inches. Dr. said she's "tall and thin, but healthy". She's in a 
good range, but the Dr. said if Tori wants to eat more, it would be ok. We're offering more with each feeding, sometimes she takes it, sometimes not. We'll just keep trying and keep an eye on things. One of our concerns was that Tori's cord still hasn't fallen off yet. Typically these fall off within the first two weeks and from what I read on line, if it hasn't fallen off by week 6, it could be a sign of a poor immune system. Dr. Aliwalas fiddled with it a bit and said that it was sunken in so deep that the part that needs to dry out isn't getting exposed. Just a few days after the Dr. poked it, it finally fell off. Yeah!
I'm personally doing much better physically now that I'm seeing a chiropractor. I was having back spasms, numbness and tingling down to my feet. Not fun when trying to bend over to change Tori, pick her up or carry her anywhere. I've never seen a chiropractor before and wasn't alltogether certain one could help, but so far so good!
