8-week Well-Baby Check-Up

8 wks: 12 lbs 12.5oz, 24.5 in

(AMW: Isn't that amazing? In 8 wks her weight has increased by 64%! That's like me gaining 16 lbs per week for eight weeks. In her first four weeks she grew four inches - that's 1/8" per day! If you had one of those sped-up videos (like the ones that show flowers blooming), you could actually have seen her grow!)

She's 98% for length, 95% for weight and 90% for her head. So she's pretty big, but evenly distributed! =)

She's tall and skinny. Most people think she's a three month old when they see how big and long she is. Even the doctor said he thought she was older. I mentioned she only poops about once every three days and he said it's 'cause she's using everything I feed her . . . . "Just look at her!"

I guess that's all for now. We're feeding every three hours through the night still, but we don't get out of bed. It's not bad at all. She stirs, I roll over and feed her, we fall back to sleep. She's been kind to us. =)

2 Week Check Up

Her appointment went very well. I forget all the percentiles, but they were something like 95% and 100%.

She's now 8 lbs 15oz (gaining very very well -over a pound since birth) and 22.5 inches long (big growth - they were surprised and measured her twice - two different ways - to be sure).

Everything is perfect and she's as healthy as can be.

Also, she has a great temperament so far. Yeah! =)

That's all.
