Since Allie came home from the hospital on Saturday, her newborn checkup was scheduled for Monday morning. We started with a new pediatrician ' s office with our recent move as well and we were looking forward to our first check up there.
Allie, as you can see, was not a fan of getting weighed or checked at this visit, but she got a great report. She weighed 6 pounds, 3.5 ounces when we were discharged from the hospital and was 6 pounds, 4 ounces at her checkup (which is exactly what big sister Rachel weighed when she was born). They were very pleased with this half ounce gain because it means Allie has stopped losing weight, as all babies do the first couple of days after birth, and has already begun to gain weight again!
She was much happier once she was swaddled back up with Daddy holding her.
Allie was doing so well with gaining weight that her next checkup is scheduled for when she will be 2 weeks old.
Weight: 6 pounds, 4 ounces
