This morning we headed out for our first outing as a family of four. Getting out the door definitely took some extra time, but it was fun to all get into the car together. Thomas got to spend an hour at his friend Kaia's house while we took Meredith to her first doctor appointment with our family's pediatrician. Meredith's stats today...
height: 19.25" (25th percentile)
weight: 6lbs 6ozs (10th percentile)
head circumference: 13" (3rd percentile)
weight: 6lbs 6ozs (10th percentile)
head circumference: 13" (3rd percentile)
We are so used to seeing Thomas' percentiles shooting off the charts at this age that it was a little strange to see her numbers so low. Unfortunately, these numbers do not reflect her prematurity but instead compares her to full-term babies. But really, do the numbers mean anything anyway?

That sounds like a great appointment. She is doing well, especially for being so early. I still can't believe you have had your baby!! I have 7 days. I am excited, but nervous. I am also anxious to run again, of course. We just found out we got in to the St. George marathon, so wish me luck. I know I am crazy!!
Thomas looks so proud - what a sweet look on his face.
