One Month Check-up

Yesterday was Abby's one month check-up! Things are going really well, and the doctor is very happy with her progress.

Stats:
Weight: 8 pounds 15 ounces
Length: 21 1/2 inches

We were given some exercise ideas to make sure that she gains some muscle tone that will be essential when it comes time for crawling. They are fun for us, and seem to be fun for her!

From July 2007

One of the exercises is to put her on her tummy and put her hands under her chest, as shown above. She really likes to push herself up and look around! (I blew the picture up too much from the original, which is why she looks so grainy. There are other pictures in the album.)

We don't like to have our little baby cry, but she had plenty of reason to cry yesterday. Shots! We have seen her cry before. We have seen her scream before. This was unlike any other scream or cry we've had so far. One shot in the leg and one prick in the foot to take a blood sample. Mom and dad even made it through with flying colors.

Unless something pops up, we will not be going back for a month. Then it's more shots, and more sleep! (Our doctor is a fan of four hour feedings at four weeks, and sleeping through the night between six and eight weeks!)

Go ahead, tell me how cute my baby is!
