Audrey is 2 weeks old

Audrey had her 2 week Dr's appointment today. I was surprised at how easy it was to get out of the house. I thought it was so difficult to go somewhere with Colin when he was that age. It was so easy to go with just her vs with Colin or with both of them. The appointment went well, nothing too exciting. Audrey's stats are as follows:
Weight: 7lbs 4 oz. I think. That is what the scale said, and what the dr said but the paperwork I got sent home with says 7lbs 2 oz. So I don't really know her percentile. The paperwork %tile is 25% but I think that's for the 7lbs 2oz. She has gained almost one pound since we left the hospital, which is great. No need to worry if she is eating enough or often enough.
Height: 20.5 inches which is the 75%tile. So as the dr stated "long and thin".
And the best news, Head: 14 inches, 50%tile, average. So nice to not be "Huge".

The dr said her computer had Audrey down as a "male, married status: unknown". She changed it to unmarried but couldn't figure out how to make it female. We'll see if they know she's a girl by the next appointment. They poked her heel again for blood to do the genetic testing. And that was about it for the appointment. Easy enough, although we were there for about an hour.

Audrey's second week has gone pretty smoothly. She is still eating every 3-4 hrs. She is staying awake more. She has had a few bad nights where she doesn't want to go back to sleep after she gets up to eat. Those are not fun. It has only happened 3 times and only for one feeding. So far my mom has been here to sit with her during those so I could get back to sleep. I am nervous about what happens when she does that and I have to get up at 630am with Colin.

She had a few more outings this week. We went to the mall and REI shopping for some sandals for Colin. We went to the park and the aquarium but those will be their own posts with pictures. We took her out to her first restaurant....TGIFridays.



Her umbilical cord stump fell off so she had her first bath.


And just a few other cute pictures from the week.
