2 Week Checkup

Brooklyn had her two week checkup on May 7th. I was very anxious to see what she weighed because right after she was born she dropped from 7 lbs 14 oz to 7 lbs 1 oz. I was breastfeeding and they wanted me to supplement with formula to get her weight up. A few days later she was up to 7 lbs 11 oz so I was hopeful that her 2 week would be even better. She did great! She weighed in at 8 lbs and 6.4 oz! She had grown half an inch to 21 1/2 inches long. I think she might follow Lucas' footsteps and be very tall!

We do have to take her to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital when she is 6 weeks old to have an ultrasound done on her hip. The doctor heard clicking in her right hip and said they do an ultrasound to make sure she doesn't have a dislocation or displasia (spell?). She didn't tell me to treat her any different or to do anything special so I am hoping it's just a precaution and nothing will be wrong.
