Today we went to see Dr. Gewin, her pediatrician. Emmie is growing great:
8 lb 9 oz (up from 7 lb 10 oz at birth) - in the 50%
21 inches (up from 20 in. at birth) - in the 60%
14 inches head cirm. (up from 13 1/4 at birth) - in the 40%
predicted height 5'4" (for girls he said the formula is - take the dad's height and subtract 6 inches, then take the average of the mom, I'm 5'2", and dad's, Jeremy is 6'1", heights and average them, then Emmie will be +/- 2 inches of that)
Emily also had to get her heel pricked and it was awful! Not once, not twice, not three times, but FOUR times (her left heel 2 times and her right heel two time) - she just didn't have the blood flowing, so it was TERRIBLE!
UPDATE - then on Wed. morning I realized she has bruises on both heels from them. It just didn't get any better.
She doesn't go back until she is 2 mo. - she will receive an immunization shot then.
