BLESSINGS!!!

Ryan and I took Katelyn to the pediatrician today to use their scale as they told us to try to keep track of her weight every couple of weeks. Some of you may not know that in the hospital Katelyn dropped to 10% below her birth weight and it concerned us to say the least. We had to supplement formula for about 4 days and then she was able to leave the hospital (Sat.) without jaundice. By the following Tuesday (3/17/09), she was back up to her birth weight of 8 lbs. 4 oz. just on breast milk. By 03/26/09, she was 9 lbs. 2 oz. The doctor told us to expect her to gain about an ounce a day, so today has been 14 days. Therefore we expected her to weigh around 10 lbs. We were ecstatic to find out that our baby girl weighs in at 10 lbs 14 ounces!!:) We were so pleased! It is so hard to tell with breastfeeding how much they are eating, so we are so happy to know she is healthy & growing well. Another progress this week is she is out of Newborn diapers and progressed to Stage 1. Our little girl is already growing up, we are just enjoying every minute of this special time.....
