First Checkup and life in general


Thank you for all the wonderful comments, and yes, she truly is an extremely beautiful girl. Many of you have asked about an update on mommy. She's doing extremely well, still a little sore, but getting along pretty well. She's no longer taking her prescription pain medication, just over the counter advil/tylenol. She does have some nerve issues which sometimes feels like her insides are ripping when she moves in certain ways, but even those are getting fewer by the day.

Lily had her first check-up today with her pediatrician. Of course, Lily felt it necessary, knowing that we had to get up earlier than we have been, to wake us up almost every hour last night to be fed. So, running on little sleep, we went down to Corvallis to the doctors office. Here are her vitals as of today:

Since last friday when she weighed 5lbs 14oz, Lily has put on 10.5oz and now weighs 6lbs 8.5oz. She also grew 1/2 an inch, and is currently at 19 1/2 inches long. The rest of the check up went extremely well, and she handled everything in stride.

Stay tuned...tomorrow I'll be able to post a bunch of the pictures from when we were in the hospital.

What a Girl. Her first pediatric appointment and I think I see a smile.

As we are expecting the birth of our first child, and everybody else seems to have a blog these days, we figured that it was about time that we got one too!
