Gemma's 1 Week Check Up

Today Gemma had her 1 week wellness check up with Dr. Brandes. She did such a great job a didn't cry at all.
Here were her stats:
Weight : 7lbs 9.5oz (she was 7lbs 13oz at birth, and when discharged from the hospital she was 7lbs 7oz)
Length: 20.75" long (she was 20" long at birth-so either she grew a lot already or they didn't get a very accurate measure at birth)

The doctor said she was surprised on how alert she was. She looked great doctor said. :) She still wants us feeding Gemma on demand, and throughout the night waking her at least every 4 hours to eat.

We do have to go back next week for a weight check. The doctor just wants to make sure she is back up to her birth weight by 2  weeks.
