This week, Lily had her two week check-up. I was anxious about the appointment because I haven’t supplemented with formula at all with her, and I was nervous about her weight gain, or perhaps lack of. We love our pediatrician and I was excited for him to meet our little miss.
So here are her stats:
Weight: 9 lbs 8 oz (up 1 lb 8 oz from birth)
Length: 21 inches (up 1 inch from birth)
Wahoo!
A few things about Miss Lily at two weeks:
- She is pretty much a rock star.
- She sleeps. She eats. She poops.
- She is fulfilling her end of the deal. I love that.
- At night, she is averaging anywhere from 4 to 6 hours of sleep at a time.
- During the day, she’s eating regularly every 2 hours and napping frequently.
- She doesn’t cry or scream when Luke is in her face or poking at her.
- She really doesn’t cry or scream at all. She squeaks. And grunts.
This is all completely opposite of Mr. Colicky-Baby Luke.
I don’t know if this is just a Second Kid Standard, but I’m sold on this kind of kid.
A little about Luke being a big brother at two weeks:
- He is quite “Lenny” about his little sister. (from Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men)
- He doesn’t quite get the idea about being “gentle” so we’re working on “don’t pet the rabbit so hard, Lenny.”
- Luke wants to be around Lily all the time. Mostly he just wants to wake her up to talk to her and poke at her.
- I love that he loves her, but holy cow . . . relax, Luke!
We are loving having Lily in our family – she is such a precious, sweet little girl.
