2 Week Check-Up

Even thought Callie is not quite 2 weeks old yet, today she had her 2 week check up. The Dr. wanted another weight check to see if she was back up to her birth weight and she also had to get another PKU done. Callie weighed in at a whopping 7 lbs 9 ounces which is still 2 ounces below her birth weight. The Dr. said that it is not great but not bad either. They like to see newborns gain about 1 ounce a day and she is averaging 1/2 an ounce a day. We just need to make sure we keep up with her feedings and don't let her go more than 3 hours between feedings. We go back in a few weeks for her 1 month check up.

Here are her 11 day stats:

Weight: 7.6 lbs        33 percentile

Height: 19.8 inches    36 percentile

Head Circumference: 34.5 cm    22 percentile
