Growing....

We went to the doctors yesterday morning and found out that we have a lovely growing healthy girl. Anna weighed in at 13.2 lbs and was 23 1/2 inches long. (YAY for Mama...Anna can stay in the bassinet for a little while longer!!!) Dr. Ashley said that everything else looks good. Her thumb sucking is OK...it'll just be harder to get rid of than a pacifier. She has a cute little birth mark showing up on the palm of her left hand right under her pinkie. Anna got 2 shots with 2 cute peanut band aids to make it feel all better. 

Even though all went well, Anna wasn't too happy about being there. First of all, the appointment was for 10:00 and her nap time is at 9:30. She wasn't happy about the 1/2 hour nap in the car. Then we had to get nakey and lay on the cold scale. Not happy. Next, had to be held down straight to see how long she was. Not happy. Had to lay back down on the cold table and take my diaper off to check my legs, etc. Not happy. Look in my mouth as I screamed, put the cold stethoscope on my chest and flash lights in my eyes. Not happy. THEN the shots. At that point I was already screaming so the screaming just continued. While checking out...still screaming. As soon as we set foot right out of the front door towards the car.....HAPPY SILENT BABY! 

Oh well....at least she's healthy. 


And here's Anna with her pal Syd. We have to lean her back when she sits propped on the couch because if not, she topples over forward. (It's happened 2 times already...oops!)


Other than that, all is well. Headed back to the doc at 6 months old, sometime in September.
