2 Weeks Old

Syddles is already 2 weeks old!  She had her two-week checkup at the pediatrician this morning, and she's officially a growing baby.  Weight 7lbs, 3oz (finally bypassing her birth weight of 6lbs, 14oz), Length 20.25 inches, Head 14 inches.  This puts her in the 25th, 50th, and 50th percentiles, respectively; however, we know that these charts are based on formula-fed babies and may not be accurate until closer to a year old.  She was slightly jaundiced at birth (so was Millie), and all of the yellow coloring seems to be gone.  Her heart sounds great (had them double check since Millie has her little heart defect).  And her belly button fell off last night!  Oh...and the not so great news that she is possibly milk protein sensitive (I had them check a couple of her poop diapers for traces of blood), the same as Millie was/is.  So no dairy for me until we figure it out for sure.  But if that is all we are worried about at this point, then I count ourselves as damn lucky.  ;)
