6 Week Check Up

Hannah went back to the doctor today and got a great report. She now weighs 9 lbs 1 oz and is 22 3/4 in long. We can finally stop supplementing with formula. YEAH! I think it may take her a few days to get used to not receiving a bottle every feeding. That means she really has to stay awake and eat the whole time. =) I'm sure she'll figure it out though.

Since Hannah was born breech they recommend getting a sonogram of her hips to check for hip dysplasia. Our doctor wrote the order today and I just have to call and schedule the appointment. We go back to the doctor in two weeks for an 8 week check up and 4 shots.

This past weekend Nathan and I enjoyed a visit from his dad. Mike lives in Arkansas and was finally able to come a meet Hannah. It was a short visit, but we enjoyed having him!

Look How I've Grown

Hannah is 4 weeks old today. We thought it was time to take another picture with the stuffed monkey. Look how big she's getting! She is still REALLY hard to keep awake during feeding so if you're looking for something specific to pray for we'd appreciate it.

Finally Gaining Weight

Hannah went back to the doctor today and I am happy to report that she has finally surpassed her birth weight. She is now 7 lb 12 oz. Hannah is such a sleepy thing that she just wasn't eating well. Last week we started supplementing with 1 oz of formula at each feeding. The first few days were really rough and she seemed pretty confused. We are in a good routine now though. Our doctor said to keep doing what we're doing until our 6 week check up. If she's still gaining good then we can stop supplementing and go to 4 hr feedings at night. Also the jaundice is completely gone. Glad to have lots of good news to report. Thanks for the continued prayers.

Thought I'd include a photo too. Enjoy!
