A Big Day of First Time Experiences

What a big day for little miss Abigail! Today was her first official doctors appointment and the news was great. She cried only because she hates to be stripped down to nothing, but got her revenge on the nurse by peeing on the scale! That’s our little girl! 🙂 Abigail is growing and developing right on target and looks to be physically perfect, just as Shaun and I thought she was! Abby is now 20 inches long, which is an inch of growth over the last 2 weeks since she was born. She now weighs 7 lbs 9 ounces which means she regained all the weight that a baby will lose after birth plus a few extra ounces! Dr. Calig says she looks great, her heart sounds wonderful, her eyes look healthy and she is right on track. We go in 2 weeks from now for her 1 month check up and I am sure she will have grown considerably between now and then. Once again I cant believe how fast time moves!

Now that her umbilical cord has fallen off, Shaun and I were able to give Abigail her first official bath this evening. She protested, as I would have expected considering she hates being naked and exposed, but did an excellent job and is all clean! Once again she did get her revenge by leaving a wonderful gift down the front of mommy’s shirt before placing her in the tub and then again in her towel after she was all fresh and clean. Let’s just say that she earned a new and endearing pet name of “stinky”! I am sure she will appreciate me sharing that information when she is much older. Oh well, that’s the fun of being a parent!

I am sure that there will be more to post so stay tuned! Have a wonderful day!
