Sasha stats update
Sasha had her second doctor’s appointment this morning where we received updated statistics on her vitals. The bottom line is that she’s doing extremely well, she’s super healthy, very muscular, and has no visible signs of any problems. She now weighs 11lbs, 6oz, up from 8lbs, 13oz one month ago and she grew to 22.25in from 21.25in last time. Her current weight puts her in the 43rd percentile for the national average of baby births. Considering that she started out in the 30th percentile, I’d say she’s starting to catch up (Yay small people!).
Sasha also received her first set of booster shots this morning, so she’ll not be feeling so hot over the next day or so, which kind of sucks because she’s also taking her first plane ride this evening. But, Rachel gave her Tylenol this morning and she seems to be doing fine so far. It is funny because the Tylenol, which is cherry flavored, is the first non-milk thing that Sasha has ever consumed. I would have loved to have seen her face when she was given that. Rachel said that she just sat there and sucked on the dropper a little, but didn’t seem to mind it at all.
Anyway, that’s the scoop. She’s doing really well, yay Sasha! We’ll see how she fares in Alaska.
