One Week Check-Up

Today we had our one week check up at the pediatrician's office.  Sevyn is doing GREAT!  Our doctor, Dr. McCoy checked her out and said she was doing well.  

She weighs 6.6 pounds, which is up from the 6.3 she left the hospital with (birth weight was 6.12) so he was happy to see she was gaining weight.  Her coloring was good (was a little jaundice starting out, but that is steadily increasing.  

He was quite shocked when we told him that she loves her sleep and that she likes to sleep through the night (6-8 hours a night at a time!)  But he said as long as she is eating and gaining weight then she is perfectly fine, lets not undo what we would normally be striving for!  Woo hoo.  Love that answer.

Anyways, she is a happy, healthy little girl and we are so blessed.  

More pics of her coming . . . tonight!

So does this mean that Sevyn slept through the night after I unsuccessfully tried to keep her up?

PS--I came up with a list of names she can call me when she's old enough to talk (probably in a month?). I'll send them tomorrow... I think you'll like them!
