One week check up



Today was Abbie's first doctor visit and she is growing very quickly. In fact, Dr. Barrio said she had the biggest weight gain in one week he's ever seen :) He announced her to be in perfect health, said we looked pretty good too - and then he spent the next 30 minutes playing with Elliot :)

So here are Abbie's "stats":

Birth wt: 6lbs, 8 oz
Today: 7lbs, 12 oz

Birth length: 19.5 in
Today: 20 in

So if you are wondering what i've been doing the past week....the answer is nursing, a lot :) But we're all getting a bit of sleep and I'm amazed at how well things are going thus far and hoping that Abbie decides to be more of a sleeper than Elliot! Thanks to everyone for the phone calls and emails and we can't wait for all of you to meet her soon!
