2 Week Appointment

Claire’s 2 week appointment was this morning; I still can’t believe it’s been 2 weeks! She measured 21.5 inches long (she grew a whole inch in a week!) which puts her in the 88th percentile for height and she weighed in at 8 lbs 14.5 oz which is the 70th percentile. Her head measured 35.5 cm, 40th percentile. We were finally able to see her pediatrician, Dr. Ronai, she is so great. She listened to Claire’s heart & lungs and performed a physical exam and said that everything looked great. She said she is growing beautifully and couldn’t find anything wrong with her (I knew she was perfect). The nurse had to do the 2nd set of newborn screening. Claire was so good, she cried for just a minute when her foot was poked.

Then this afternoon I had my 2 week postpartum appointment. I’ve already lost 20 lbs, woo hoo! Most of that was Claire and amniotic fluid, but it was still exciting. They just asked how I’ve been doing with nursing and how I’ve been feeling. And since everything has been going so well, that was the worlds’ shortest appointment.

I was unwrapping Claire to feed her this evening and I discovered that Levi had put her little pants on backwards. It was too cute, I couldn’t stop laughing. A little while later Claire spit up on Levi; that must have been her revenge. I just never knew it would be so much fun having a little baby around. We both just can’t get enough of her and we never knew we could love another person so much!

How the heck was I supposed to know the bear goes on the back? Last time I change her clothes!
