Diana's trip to the doctor

Diana had her two week check-up this afternoon. Things seemed to be going really well with her, but part of me was a bit concerned that she was sleeping too much at night (not like I couldn't use the rest) and not eating enough.

I managed to get both girls out the door and to the doctor's office on time. Amelia insisted on bringing three toys and a sippy cup - two of which I had to chase down because they had fallen on the sidewalk. Diana was good once we got out the door (she cried constantly for a good 15 mins. before we left while I dressed and changed her and her sister).

Both girls were great at the doctor's office until the end when Diana decided she was incredibly hungry and couldn't stand to wait any more. As Diana was crying to be fed, Amelia began to cry. Her source of anguish was the lollipop the doctor mentioned but did not immediately produce for her - that and the fact that it was way past nap time.

But here's the information we're all waiting for: Diana weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces at birth (dropping to 6 lbs. 12 oz. in the hospital) and she now weighs 7 lbs. 15 oz. She was 19 inches long at birth and is now 20.75 inches long! It's incredible to think that she's grown almost 2 inches in length already. I thought she weighed more but looked thinner...I guess now I know why.

Well, Amelia is napping so I think Diana and I are going to try to do the same. There's a lot of work I could be doing around the apartment, but Amelia may outgrow her naps soon, so I'd better take advantage now while I still can.

And of course, I will always try to share the girls stats when I get them.
