First check up


Elsie had her first check up yesterday.  She weighed 8lbs 1oz, less than I thought she would.  She is nursing really well now and my milk is in so she should be packing on the weight in no time.  She is a little jaundice but is not needing treatment.  It should clear up soon.  Our Pediatricians moved to a new location in NW Portland...in the Montgomery Park building.  It was my first time there and pretty cool.  And since Uncle Allen's office is in the same building we were able to stop by and introduce him to his newest niece. 

A few fun Elsie facts:
  • So far she is a binky girl.  Yeah! (Reagan was not and it made her fussy periods much harder)
  • Her eyes are slate blue, but seem to have some underlying 'muddy' color.  Craig and I think we have another brown eyed beauty!
  • Her legs are long and spindly.  I think they are Craig's legs:-)  And I totally recognize them from the last month of pregnancy when they were right under my rib cage! 
  • If last night was any indicator, I think she is going to not like having a dirty diaper.  Neither of my other girls really cared.  It will be kind of nice that she lets us know!
