First Family Outing

On Cassidy's one week birthday, we had to go back to the hospital for her weight check.

At birth, she weighed 6 lb., 12 oz. Her weight dropped to 6 lb., 5 oz. before we came home from the hospital (which is normal and expected for a newborn). The goal is for the baby to be back up to birth weight by 2 weeks old. On the way to the appointment, Kurt and I tried to guess what her weight would be. My guess was 6 lb., 11 1/2 oz. Imagine our surprise when she was weighed and 6 lb., 11 1/2 oz. exactly came up on the screen! Mommy had guessed correctly, right down to the half ounce! Now that's a woman that knows her child! Being almost back to birth weight already shows us that she's getting enough to eat and is doing so well. We were relieved and excited to see that. These pictures are of her all snuggled up in her car seat for her first family outing.
