Lydia has spent 4 days with us and so far she fits well into our daily routine. She demonstrates a keen ability to eat, sleep, and be cuddled. For the past 21 months our favorite pastime has been watching baby-TV, and she has given us a whole new channel of entertainment.
Lydia had her new baby checkup at our pediatrician this morning and was given high scores for her lack of jaundice and acceptable measure of weight loss. We thought she may have had a heat rash, but it turns out the small red bumps she has are related to the hormones swimming around in her bloodstream. This common occurrence should pass soon. She measured 20 inches in length compared to 21 at birth, so either baby measurement is an inexact science or she shrinking. Even so, at 20 inches she's in the 75th percentile. We'll have another checkup at two weeks so we'll be able to make another observation of this fascinating phenomenon.
