1 week check up

We went to the pediatrician for Emma's one week check up today and were reassured again that she is as healthy as can be.  The doctor didn't have any concerns for her which is always music to our ears.  As it turns out, she has been getting plenty of Momma's milk!   Newborns are expected to gain about 1 oz per day.  Our little piggy has been gaining about double that.  She was born at 8lb 12 oz; was 8lb5.5 oz when we left the hospital on Wednesday; and tipped the scales at the office today at 9lb 6oz!!  That's a little over a lb!  She is a long lean eattin machine :)

So there are no cute pictures from her doctors appointment but I do have some in stock from her first bath!  We were both holding our breath and waiting for screams of displeasure but to our surprise she appeared to love it.  I think she was putting on a show for Grandma Roz and Auntie Megan because we gave her bath number 2 today and got more of what we expected out of bath #1 - an unhappy and cold baby.  Nothing a little milk and cuddle time couldn't fix though.  So here she is hamming it up at her first bath...

Here is a link to some additional pictures we put up on picasa.  More Emma photos  Enjoy!!
