2 weeks

So Miss R had her 2 week check-up yesterday!! 


What fun! 
We get there and she has to get down to a diaper to get weighed. Those paper tables are cold! She cried, a lot. Lol. As soon as the nurse left I had to nurse her just to calm her down. She fell right to sleep! 
Then, course, the doc came in and it was back to the cold paper table. She did well thou! Her belly button has fallen off but she has a bit of bleeding, pretty normal they say. So is her congestion. That's no fun to hear thou! 
Ok.... On to the stats....
I need these in a general location....so I'm going to write them ALL down. lol.

Birth {3/30/12}
6 lbs 15 oz 
18.5 inches long

Discharge {4/1/12}
6 lbs 9 oz

4 day Check-up for questionable Jaundice {4/3/12}
6 lbs 8.5 oz {14%}
19.8 in long {54%}
head circ: 13.3 in {18%}

2-week check-up--18 days old {4/17/2012}
8 lbs .5 oz {33%}
21.3 in long {79%}
head: 13.8 in {20%}

She gained 1.5 pounds in two weeks!!
super awesome!
you always wonder if your baby is eating enough....well I do. especially with breastfed babies, since you don't see it by the numbers like you do with formula.
apparently I am making enough milk.
kellymom.com is great for getting all sorts of breastfeeding info i <3 it!
it says:
A 5-7% weight loss during the first 3-4 days after birth is normal. Baby should regain birth weight by 2 weeks. Once mom’s milk comes in, average weight gain is 6 oz/week.
sweet!! things are going good!
better...she gained like 10 oz/week!
Next appointment is at 20 months old. We will also bring K in for her 3 year check-up!!
so much fun! she turns 3 next week, but her check-up won't be until the end of may....guess i could've scheduled that better. oh well.

and just for my own reference {because I need a back-up of this info} I have K's stats :)
