More 2 week details

I should probably have waited til today to post about Anna Love's 2 week details.  She had her first well baby check today, so we have a few more details.  All this info is more for me than anyone else, so if you are bored by the little details you might want to check out now.  ;)

Everything checked out great today!!  Today's appointment was pretty simple.  Mostly we discussed feeding, peeing, and pooing!  Fun stuff!  And got new measurements.  We also had to do the 2nd PKU test which is just a routine newborn screening that involves a heal stick to collect blood.

So at the pediatrician's office today, Anna Love weighed 7 lbs 9 ozs.  She is 21 inches long.  These numbers make her a typical Minor baby.  She's long and skinny!  About 75% percentile in length and about 25% percentile in weight.  She's been gaining on average 1/2 ounce per day which is on the low end of what the doc looks for.  Typically they are looking for 1/2 to 1 ounce per day.  Doc says he's satisfied.  Again this is pretty typical for our babies, so I'm also pleased too!  I've always joked that I must make skim milk since my babies gain slowly and stay skinny no matter how well nursing is going!

For the record...

Anna Love was 7 lbs 11 ounces and 20.5 inches at birth.

One day later she was 7 lbs 7 ounces.

The day we were discharged she was 7 lbs 4 ounces.

On Monday, February 10, she had a weight check at the pediatrician's office.
That day she was 7 lbs 4 ounces.

Friday, February 14, she has another weight check, and she was 7 lbs 6 ounces.  Looks like we are climbing back up now!

That brings us to today which again was 7 lbs 9 ounces.

So everything is on track and looking good, but of course we really didn't need the pediatrician to tell us that!!  We all think she's perfect!!!  :)

Anna Love wore an outfit today that big sister Elizabeth wore almost 3 1/2 years ago!!  Here's some pics for comparison.  Both pics of Anna Love are from today.  The first pic of Elizabeth is at 1 week old and the second pic of Elizabeth is at 1 month old.  I think Anna Love looks a lot more like the 1 month old Elizabeth.  I'm going to have to find some time to compare some pics of Anna Love and Mary Ruth sometime soon!  

In other news, Anna Love's diaper bag finally came in!!  Anna Love is the first baby to have a "special" bag!  We didn't really need much for her, so I splurged just a little and had this bag made.  Also I wasn't really finding a bag in stores that I really liked.  I'm all about some pink, gray, and chevron right now!!!  Loving this new bag!!
