First Doctor Appointments

We took Zoey to her first doctor appointment at just three days old. Everything went great except that she had lost more weight and was down to 5 lbs 12 oz. If babies drop more than 10% of their body weight, they need to be supplemented with formula. She was right at 10% so we had to bring her in a few days later for a weight check. Thankfully, she was up to 6 lbs 3 oz and we didn't have to supplement.

I love this picture because we have a picture of Barrett in his car seat at his first appointment and he has one eye open just like this! 

That is a burp cloth on top of her blanket and it's bigger than she is!

Her second appointment at one week old

At her two week check-up she was up to 6 lbs 9 oz, and we got the green light to let her sleep as long as she will now that she is above her birth weight. I can't even believe we are lucky enough to even worry about this, because Barrett never slept for more than two hours at this point. At around two weeks old she slept for five hours straight one night! At two weeks old she is in the 8th percent for weight, 30th percentile for height, and 47th for head circumference. Teeny tiny, sweet baby girl!
