I had my first trip to the doctor's yesterday. As you can see from this picture, I was a little shell-shocked from start to finish - like a deer in headlights.
I woke up a little late, but mommy did a good job of bundling me up and getting me ready to go. I wore a cute little pink onsie, a hand knit sweater hand-me-down from my uncle and aunt, and of course, the blanket and hat mommy knit for me before I was born.

Daddy loaded me into the car and off we went! Mommy took this picture of me during the one second I was awake in the car. I tell yah, the seat and the ride is a one-way ticket to napville for me!
The appointment went great. Mommy and Daddy were so proud of me! At 11 days old, I weighed 6lbs 8 0z (I was born at 6lbs, I left the hospital at 5lbs 10 oz. The doctor was expecting me to have lost weight, not gained a pound!!) and I measured 19.5 inches long (19.25 at the hospital). They did my head circumference too, but I don't remember that measurement. Who really cares anyway?
I was happy when it was all over. I didn't get to go home though. Granny came down a little bit after we got home, and next thing I knew, I was back in the seat and we were off to the mall. My first shopping trip! I did great. 2 feedings, 3 diapers, a dress, pair of shoes, and lots of naps later, we made it home. Boy, was mommy tired! I had slept the whole time though, so of course I stayed up most of the evening. Its ok though, it helped me sleep for most of the night.
I have been sleeping for about 3 hours at night, so I feed around 12, 3, and 6. Really not that bad, considering. Last night I ate at 8, 1, and 5:30. Can you believe it?? I must have been really really tired!
I had a lot of fun yesterday, but I have been really sleepy today. This was one of the brief moments that I was awake today. Mommy is always making me smile, and daddy almost has me laughing!
Mommy and daddy asked the doctor if he had any reservations in me going to MD for Uncle Mike and Aunt Jackie's wedding this weekend. He said everything looks great, I'm one good lookin' kid! I can't wait. Mommy even got me some fancy ruffle-butt tights for me to wear! I can't wait to meet the rest of the family. Everybody better wash their hands though, I'm still only 2 weeks old!!
Can't wait to show you pictures from the wedding!
Love,
Thaya
