Gabriella - Two months old

Gabriella had her two month check up today. Everything is going great. She weighs 10 pounds, 3 ounces and is 21 1/2 inches long. She is in the 26th percentile for weight, which seems huge compared to her brother. She got a few shots and turned beet red as a result. She calmed down quickly but has not been a happy camper today.

We are off to our first trip to Portland this weekend. Hopefully Gabi does as well in the car as she did on her first flight.

Gabriella week two

Gabriella had her two week check up yesterday. She now weighs 6 pounds, 13 ounces and is doing great. She now gets a break from doctor's visits and doesn't have to return until she is 2 months old. She is still eating well and sleeping a lot. She has a few times she is awake during the day and is enjoying a little tummy time with her brother who likes to talk to her and make her turn her head.

Gabriella's first doctor's appointment

On Tuesday, September 7th Gabi had her first visit with the doctor. She left the hospital weighing 6 pounds and 3 days later had gained 3 ounces. The doctor says Gabi looks very healthy and she did great with the doctor. So far she is a very quiet baby and cries only when she gets her diaper changed. She sleeps a lot during the day and likes to keep mom and dad awake at night, hopefully this will change soon.

Gabriella Elizabeth Stern

On Friday, September 3rd we welcomed Gabriella Elizabeth Stern into the world. She was born via c-section at 5:42 PM weighing 6 pounds, 8 ounces and measuring 19 3/4 inches long with a full head of dark brown hair. Mommy and baby did great after the surgery and everyone rested nicely in the hospital. On Sunday evening everyone got to go home. Alex is enjoying his baby sister and Nana and Rob are taking good care of everyone.
