We went to the pediatrician for our two week check up today. I was anxious to see how much weight she had gained since her last appointment on April 24th. When she was born, she was 6lbs, 11oz. When she left the hospital she was down to 6lbs, 5oz. That's normal for newborns, so I wasn't too worried about that. At her first appointment, she had gained 1 oz, so I was pretty excited about that. Then we went in for the appointment today...I swear this child must be sneaking into the kitchen at night to eat snacks or something, because today she weighs 7lbs, 8 oz! I'm glad to see that all those middle of the night feeding frenzies are leading to something positive and not just resulting in Mommy & Daddy being sleep-deprived.
She's also grown half an inch in length, and the pediatrician gave her a clean bill of health. She did get the first of her Hep B shots. I think Mommy cried more than Carrie did. We go back when she's two months old, so mid-June. Then she gets another round of shots, which won't be fun, but they are necessary!
