Yesterday, Ella and I met up with Amorette and Chelsea for a walk in Campbell. It was great to get out of the house and share stories with Amorette who is also a new mother. If fact, Chelsea was born 2 days after Ella. Ella did a great job! I was a bit worried about how it would go, being that the day before she did not nap at all, and literally wanted to eat about every 30 minutes. It was a hard day. The walk and some fresh air was just what we needed. She was awake and alert for the entire car ride over the the park, but not crying at all. I kept waiting for the crying to start, but she was fine. She whimpered a few times during the walk, but was easily able to settle herself down.
After the walk, we popped into Harmony Birth Center to weigh the babies. This is a great place; I took several prenatal yoga classes here during pregnancy. Ella weighed in at 9 pounds 7 ounces. They say babies should gain, on average, 4 to 7 ounces a week. At her 2 week appointment, she was 8 pounds 6/.5 ounces. Ella has gained a pound and 1/2 an ounce in one week 3 days! She is a hearty little eater!!!
