On Friday, March 28, Eden had her 2-week checkup. She weighed 5 pounds and measured 18.75 inches - a gain of 6 ounces and 3/4 of an inch since leaving the hospital. We were surprised when the nurse practitioner said she was surprised they let Eden go home under 5 pounds...that is the first we had been told that! Neither of us could imagine not having Eden with us for the past two weeks. Then, the nurse practitioner said, "She's perfect," to which we replied, "We know." We went home and celebrated by having some "belly time" then being amazed as she focused attention on our faces and her friends George the Giraffe and Dan the Duck. Since her cord had fallen off that morning, we gave her her first "real bath" - in the kitchen sink (pictures to come).
At this point, we're still trying to figure out her eating and sleeping habits - she often stays awake for nearly an hour after eating (and sometimes wants to eat again before falling to sleep).
This is Eden's first outfit with pants...she wanted to wear it SO BADLY since her cord fell off...so we let her. Thanks "Aunt" Jennie.
