Doctor's Visit

Annalise made a visit to see her pediatrician at 10 days old. Her umbilical cord looked a little yucky and she was showing early signs of a cold, so being slightly paranoid parents we took her in for a quick exam.

Everything turned out fine. Her umbilical cord fell off on her twelfth day and the doctor said many newborns in Las Vegas get what can only be described as the Desert Snorts...the dry air affects their little noses and throats in a way that makes them snort and snore a little in the early weeks.

Annalise's weight was up quite a bit, too. She tipped the scales at 6 lbs. 14 oz., which was 10 ounces heavier than the previous week. She had on a onesie for this weigh-in, so the reading wasn't completely accurate, but she's certainly making progress in that department! She's been eating just about every hour today, so I'm sure she'll be growing out of the clothes she's currently swimming in very soon.
