2 week checkup

Casey had her two week checkup on Tuesday June 3.

Her head measurement was 34 1/2 cm.
Weight 7.9 she was in the 25th percentile. (she is a lightweight) UH OH
Height was 20 1/4 and she was in the 50th percentile.

She weighed 7.9 pounds. Dr Addy wanted her back up to her hospital weight by now so we had another weight check today. We fed her like crazy and even with 2 poopy diapers this morning (we told her to wait till AFTER the appt to go number 2 to keep her weight up) she weighed 7.135, she gained 4 oz's :) Now we have to come back in another 2 weeks for another weight check, I have no idea what that magic number is. For now all the books say that once she gets back to hospital weight you dont have to keep up the regimented every 3 hour feedings, as long as she is getting about 20 to 24 oz's a day or so, and can sleep at night as long as she let's you. I think we will experiment with that tonight. Will let you know how it goes.

Then we setup a 2 month appt on August 1st where she gets shots ;( That will not be fun.

Joe leaves for Salt Lake City, Ut on June 16-19 for New Employee Orientation for his new job at 3M
THEN...
somewhere in Conneticut the 23-26 for a meet and greet of the new employees.
Casey will miss him, they are sleeping buds now. I practically have to peel her off of Joe for her night feedings.

It's going to be interesting to see how it goes.

Btw...she is getting bigger she lost her umbilical cord earlier this week! She will be getting a job in no time :)
