1 week weight check

We had a 1week weight check Tuesday (6/19/12) with our dr office for Gemma. To be on target, Gemma needed to weigh at least 7 lbs 10 ozs.

I was anxious because this is where it became clear we were running into problems with nursing Amelia. Amelia was such a big baby, I didn't worry about feeding her. She was so sleepy from jaundice, that she wasn't waking enough to eat. I wasn't aware of the problem until the first weight check, and then major panic set in.

So, I was pretty nervous about putting our girl on the scale today.

No need to worry. Gemma was 8lbs 7 ozs, gaining close to a pound more than she had to. What a relief! Now mama can get some sleep (maybe?).
