And How Did The Doc Say Eli Is Doing?

Here's a photo of Dr. Jernigan squeezing Eli's head into shape. Just kidding.

Well, after a week, babies are supposed to be back up to their discharge weight (for Eli, it was 5 pounds 9 ounces) and after two weeks they should be up to their birth weight (for Eli, it was 5 pounds 15 ounces). Today she weighed 5 pounds 13 ounces. Dr. Jernigan asked how often Eli was eating and we told her it was about every two hours. She told us we could go to about every 3 hours and try to get a 4 hour stretch in there once a day.

Eli's head was a half inch bigger than it was in the hospital as it continues to mold into a more rounded shape. She was also a half inch longer (19.5) than she was in the hospital.

Everything checked out very well and we'll be taking her back next week for a weight check.
