The 5 Week Check-up

Today marked Sophia's second trip to the doctor. She was supposed to have a six week check-up but seeing that we will be cottaging at that point, we needed to go in a week early. Dr. McDonald did all the regular things: checked her heart rate, her hips, her chest, her neck etc. Then came the all important weigh-in. Any guesses for weight and length? No takers? Well, keep in mind that Sophia was 6.14 lbs when she was born (that's almost 7 pounds!), her weight total as of today is --dum dum da dum: 10 pounds! You got it! 10 pounds (and 2 ounces but in her defense, she was wearing a diaper)! It's incredible to think that in the last five weeks Sophie has gained three pounds, and that the calories came from me. Whew, I am exhausted thinking about it. She's also 22 inches long.

Needless to say our little girl is growing. She's already out grown some of her earlier clothes. She's a tall, ten pound girl. She really doesn't look it because she's not too roley poley. But she is a comfortable size for cuddling...which we do a lot of!

That's news on the health front.
