Growing up

So, we had our 2 week appointment with our Pediatrician on Friday. We were a little anxious about it, mainly concerned with whether or not Andrea was gaining enough weight. She was 4 pounds and 11 ounces at birth, and the next day at the Pediatrician's she was 4 pounds and 6 ounces.

It's normal for newborns to lose weight after they are born, and typically they are back to their birthweight within 2 weeks. It's hard to tell how much nutrition she's getting when breastfeeding. It's not like you can measure it or anything like when using a bottle, so that's mainly what we were concerned about.

As it turned out, though, we had no need for concern. She weighed 5 pounds and six ounces at our doctor visit. She had gained 1 pound in 2 weeks so we were relieved.

So yes, it appears that our little girl is growing up.
