A week and a day

Elise is eight days old today.
On Friday, she went to her first post-hospital-stay doctor visit, a one-week check-up.
It's still an experiment getting somewhere on time. Anni used to just have to wait for me to eat and get ready. Now, of course, we've got to get the little one ready to go.
Anyway, everything went fine at the doctor's office. Elise had gained a few ounces since she was weighed a day earlier and she had grown a half-inch in her first week. She has good coloring and complexion -- like Mom -- and good motor skills -- like Dad? -- and a pair of healthy lungs.
She does not test the limits of those lungs often, usually crying only when she is hungry.
Speaking of being hungry, she is getting predictable about that, which is nice for us. She generally is feeding every three hours day and night. Sure, that's eight times a day -- including a couple of late-night wake-ups for Anni -- but at least we kind of know when she will want to eat. I'm sure that will change when we least expect it, though.
Anni visits her doctor next week and while we're there the nurse will weigh Elise again to see whether she still is gaining weight. That may determine whether we continue supplementing her feedings with formula.
