Two Week Check-Up

I'm not officially two weeks old yet but I had my check up today. Mom and Dad both took me. I was back up to my birth weight of 6 lbs 8 oz. (At the hospital I had dropped from 6 lbs 8 oz to 6 lbs 4 oz then 6 lbs 2 oz then down to 5 lbs 15 oz when I was discharged).

According to the nurse today I was 20" long...grew a half inch in two weeks?? Hmmm..... And my head was 34 3/4. At birth it was 34.

I was a good girl at my check up. My Dr. said I look good. He also commented that I seem to have a "lively personality". He said generally the second baby is more mellow but he thinks I am going to be an active one. Mom and Dad had the same feeling but hearing that from a pediatrician who sees all kinds of kids all the time made them a little more nervous. :)  Mom said while she was pregnant that I was going to be a live wire.

They were thankful to hear that overall I seem to be a healthy 2 week old baby girl.
