Eleanor's Almost One Month Appointment

Yesterday we had Eleanor's one month appointment (a week early).

Current stats:
Weight: 8 pounds 3 ounces
Length: 20 3/4 inches
Head circumference: Forgot to ask

The doctor is so pleased with her weight gain and so are we. Genevieve was born smaller and lost a lot of weight in the hospital, so we were always worrying about her calorie intake and weight tracking. In fact, we still are keeping an eye on her. So it was such a relief to not be worrying about it with Eleanor. I can tell she's getting chubbier, particularly when I'm trying to get her to burp. She is still in newborn size clothes but the day to transition to 0-3 month size clothing is quickly coming. In fact she is busting out of the newborn size regular white onesies.

The doctor says she looks great. Eleanor does make this squeaking sound - like a goose honking - when she breaths sometimes, mainly when eating. It just the sound of air going across her developing vocal cords. Genevieve had it too. The doctor says it should be gone by 6 months.

So excited for such a good report at the appointment. And we are so pleased with our new pediatrician.
