Three Week Checkup!

Today was a pretty exciting day...for Mom anyway. We went to visit Dr. Erickson for our three week checkup! I had been so anxious to hear what they had to say about Olivia, to ensure everything was alright and on track! Being a first time Mom, I was worried that I was going to miss something, but they reassured me that she is doing great. She weighed 8 pounds 11 ounces, so almost gained two pounds! Dr. Erickson said I should bottle it up and sell it on Ebay! :-) So, she is definitely getting enough to eat which I was worried about. Also, she was 20 3/4 inches long, so she grew an inch already!! Overall, everything looked great and we are right on target. She is in the 50 percentile for her height and weight and the 25 percentile for her head...I think that is what they said?? They also said she should be "regarding our faces, following some movements, responding to sounds by eye opening or stopping extremity movement, and lifting her head while on her stomach"...all of which she is doing!!! So, basically she is perfect! She has become extremely strong lately and has been lifting her head quite a bit on her own! The next doctor visit will be her two month checkup in which she will have to get her shots, so I told Daddy that he will definitely need to be there for that one. I don't think I will do well with that!!
