We took Juliet for her 2 week appointment on Thursday. Dr. Pope says she’s perfect!
Her stats were:
7lbs, 7oz (up 13oz from birth…she’s a good eater!)
14″ noggin
19.5″
You’re probably seeing the 19.5″ and thinking, wow, that was her length at birth. So, we think they were VERY generous at birth on her length. The nurse stretched her out well on Thursday and she is indeed 19.5″ so she was likely 18 or so inches when she was born.
Juliet appears to be our chunky baby, she LOVES to eat. We weighed her again this evening before we started our last nursing session and she’s weighing in at exactly 8 pounds! Yes, she put on 9oz in the last 3 days…I told you that she’s a chunk!
I have a feeling her pediatrician is going to tell us to cut down our nursing sessions at her 2 month appointment since she’s putting on so much weight so quickly. I love the chubbiness, she’s filling in all of her extra skin and then some. She’s squishy and smushy and I love it!
In other news, her cord fell off tonight! YAY! It took Amelia’s FOREVER to fall off and Juliet’s only took two weeks and 3 days. Tomorrow she’ll get her first full bath where she can soak and relax in the tub. We’ll post pictures of her first bath and if her hair cooperates hopefully I’ll get a mohawk going.
