2 Week Check Up
***This is an update I thought I had posted, obviously, I hadn't! So, in the hope of saving myself some time, I am going to include all of the pictures in one update and leave this for you just to read!***
We took Hannah in for her two week check up today. Thankfully there were no shots involved for her as she had her first shot while we were still in the hospital. This was just the beginning of our routine appointments with her to check her weight gain and growth. We expected to see some weight gain and we knew she had grown, but the amount of gain and growh shocked us! Little Miss Piggy is now 8 pounds even (still only 25% for her age) and 21 3/4 inches long (75% for her age)! Of course, like us the doctor was quite pleased with her growth and continues to be impressed by how much she is doing at such a young age.
Hannah has changed quite a bit since she was born. She has filled out some, but is quite long so most of the weight gain I have noticed is in her cheeks. She has nice chunky cheeks now which are so incredibly kissable! She gets lots of kisses every day from all of us, including her big brother! Hannah is now eating every three hours during the day and 4 or 5 hours at night. She is a very happy baby, although she is beginning to suffer from some evening gas issues. We (the doctor and Hanry and I) are not calling this colic yet, but it may be going that route. She seems to have trouble at the same time each evening recently with gas, but she is great at working it out on her own and really doesn't complain about it too much.
Hannah is much more aware of her surroundings when she is awake now. She looks at everything and even today tried to "coo" at the ceiling fan when she saw it. She made a few noises at it and then stopped. Hearing her little voice was so beautiful, so sweet (and totally makes you forget what the cries sound like)!
