Today we had Emma's first doctor's appointment. We really like her pediatrician. He is older, but very knowledgeable. When she was born she weighed 7 pounds and 7 ounces. When we checked out of the hospital she was 7 pounds and 1 ounce. It is normal for them to lose weight at first. Today at her appointment she was 7 pounds and 6 1/2 ounces. The doctor was very impressed with her. He said that it usually takes up to two weeks to get back to their birth weight. She's doing a great job of feeding! When she born, they measured her as 21 inches. Today she measured 19 1/2 inches. They said that it's not always accurate when they measure in the birthing room because it's hard to hold them still. Also, she doesn't have the cone head that she had at birth.
He said everything looks perfect on her. We go back in two weeks for our next appointment. The doctor answered lots of questions that we had, so we were very happy with the appointment.
