This Ain't No Skim Milk!

In the south, people enjoy drinking "sweet mirk" - translation: whole milk. Apparently, Jane has some southern roots. She had her two week appointment with the pediatrician on Thursday, November 20th, and let's just say she received the "A+" report. At birth, Jane weighed 7 lbs. 8 oz. and when we left the hospital on Thursday, November 6th, she weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz. Normally, at the two week appointment, one hopes that the baby is simply back at birth weight.

In Jane's case, she weighed in at 8 lbs. 6 oz - she had gained 1 lb. 5 oz. since leaving the hospital! Our pedatrician said it was safe to say that we had established a "healthy" nursing relationship! Though this picture appears in a previous post, I think it is appropriate to post again, as it displays her "growing" cheeks!
