2 Week Visit

Baby Faith had her 2 week visit today. It was a really good visit. The Dr. thought it was phenomenal that she had gained pretty much a whole pound since her birth. She weighed in at
7 lbs 9 oz. She hadn't gained any in the height area, but that's ok. She was in the 50th percentile for her height regardless and her weight still isn't quite on the charts. Tall and skinny, just like Dad.
It was our first long interaction with our new pediatrician as well. It went great. I really liked him. We had met him a couple other times when our old one was out but they were brief encounters so it was nice to spend some longer time talking and interacting with him. He talked to us about a lot of stuff and even told us the names of her little birth marks she has. He says they are the kind that will fade over time. But the ones on the back of her neck are what's referred to as "Stork bites" and the one on her eyelid is one of what's called "angel kisses". He checked her out and said she was perfect. We agree. She only got upset twice. Once when we undressed her to get weighed and I don't blame her, it was chilly in there. I would have been mad too. And then again when they poked her heal to do the PKU testing.
The babysitter had taken the twins for the appointment and Caleb was at school so we took advantage and enjoyed a quick and quiet lunch together. Just me, Mike and baby girl. It was a nice break and little outing overall.
