Second Pediatrician Visit

Yesterday we went to the pediatrician for Arden's 3 week old checkup! We saw a female doctor this time named Dr. Ward who was very nice and helpful.

When Arden was born, she was 8 lbs 13 oz. By her week 1 checkup, she had lost a bit and was 8 lbs. 8oz. When they weighed her yesterday, she topped off at 10 lbs. 3 oz! The doctor was very happy with that, attributed it to her being breast-fed, and remarked that she would have been happy if Arden had been gaining 1 oz. per day but seemed to be gaining just under 2 oz. a day instead! She was given a clean bill of health. We head back in to see the pediatrician again at 2 months to start her vaccinations.

Arden has started the curious habit of smiling and giggling a little just as she starts to fall asleep! She doesn't really smile otherwise, but this particular habit happens like clockwork. We'll try to catch in on video soon. She seems to be sleeping a bit longer through the night and getting into a bit of a routine which helps us out immensely. Her hair continues to grow, and she is starting to look around alot more.
