Three weeks

Well, this week flew by. We went to the Dr. on Wednesday and learned that MA now weighs 7 lbs. 6 oz. So, I guess all of her eating is doing something! She is also 21 1/2 inches long now. She is too tall for her Newborn clothes, but too skinny for 0-3 months, so her outfits look a little silly right now.

Friday, we had quite the scare. MA was making this squealing noise when I would lay her down to change her. At first, I thought she was beginning to laugh. Then, it looked like she was having difficulty breathing. I sat her up, consoled her and called the Dr., who said that it sounded like normal infant congestion and to only be worried if she stopped eating or began to run a fever.  Well, our thermometer is a piece of garbage that takes forever to get a reading. MJ stopped on his way home and bought a "guarenteed accurate" one touch thermometer. Well, we took MA's temp both in the armpit and behind her ear. Both said she had a fever. So, at 2am, we brought her to the emergency room.
Well, we got there and they took a rectal temperature, that was 98.6. So, a pointless trip to the ER, but we learned that MA is perfectly healthy.

Yesterday, we took MA to get newborn photos done. She actually tolerated that pretty well. I was impressed to find that she stayed awake the whole time. She's the best baby...

I cannot believe she is three weeks old already.
