Our baby Alivia is 2 weeks old today. She's as cute as ever. Cody and I find ourselves laughing and completely entertained at her facial expressions and uncontrolled limbs. Last week at her doctor's appointment she rocked the scale and the doctor's expectations. He said she could pass on a 2 week check up and that he'd just see us at her month check up.
1 week stats:
7 pounds 12 ounces (50 percentile)
20 and a half inches (75 percentile)
head circumference (75 percentile)
The height percentage will change with time, because let's be honest, the Bendheim and Orvin height genes aren't too impressive. And we were floored to see that she gained a pound in her first week (since she had gone from 7 pounds 9 ounces to 6 pounds 15 ounces before we were discharged at the hospital).
On a side note: Alivia Pearl pooped through her diaper today and onto mommy skirt. I didn't even care. THIS IS HUGE PEOPLE! One of my largest concerns about having a baby was the messes to my house and my person with spit up, urine, and poop. But how can you be upset at such a sleeping beauty?
She is absolutely precious
ReplyDeleteToo cute. I am glad to hear you did not freak out about the poop too. :) Keep growing Alivia and maybe you will be taller than your mom and dad someday! :)
ReplyDeleteI am proud of you Robin! I was wondering how you were handling the whole messy part of motherhood... and I am so happy to see her in the swaddle wrap I got for her :)
ReplyDeleteAlivia is fabulous! Good job....isn't it amazing how unconditional we become...what's a little poop on EVERYTHING!!...oh well....life goes on! Love you all!! Aunt Debbie(can I come soon to see you all?) XO
ReplyDeleteLori - She absolutely loves her swaddleme wrap. Sleeps 5+ hours at night because of this genius invention.
ReplyDeleteAunt Debbie - we'd love to have you come and meet Alivia! Name the day and we'll coordinate.
And Shaunna - there is no way she will tall, but maybe she'll be taller than her mama (which would be great). Cody would like her shorter than him. I'm hoping that I'm saving all the "tall" genes for a baby boy.
