Two Weeks Old

Hard to believe Olivia is two weeks old already! It's astounding how fast time has gone by. I'm sure it won't slow down any time soon either. Tuesday, we were concerned that Olivia may have come down with some sort of cold or illness. She was congested and was having difficulty feeding without coughing. So, we called the pediatrician and we went in to have her checked out. Turns out, we were just being over-protective first-time parents. Gee, there's a shocking revelation. So, while we were there, Dr. Scott did her two week check up. She's in the 25th percentile in both weight and length. That means 75% of girls her age are heavier and longer than Olivia, but the fact that she's equally proportionate is a good thing. The amusing part is her head size is in the 50th percentile...so she's already getting a big head! Otherwise, she's in very good health and feeding very well. She currently weights 7 pounds, 9.6 ounces and is 20 inches long.

Now here's something interesting...Jennifer, my sister, sent me my pictures as a baby and the comparison is absolutely incredible! On the left is a picture of me one day old. On the right is a picture of Olivia 9 days old. Amazing, isn't it?

There's no denying Olivia is my daughter...right down to the ears! Her face is a little more round and she has Amanda's nose, but the eyes, mouth, and ears look a lot like mine as a baby.

Here are a few more pictures...the first is Olivia with our friends' baby Jett Longanecker. With any luck Jett and Olivia will be able to play together as they grow. Jett's parents Amy and Jameson (both have their own blogs) are simply awesome people! Hopefully, we can do many things together!!

Grandma Pauline (my mom) arrived here yesterday and she's really enjoying her time with Olivia. She'll be here for a week spending as much time as she can with her new granddaughter.

Here are a couple more miscellaneous pictures of Olivia from the past few days. Enjoy!
