'Cause Fat Babies Have No Pride

Don't know if you ever heard the Lyle Lovitts song, "Fat Babies Have No Pride" but it's a favorite in the Nielson household. And our baby is no exception. We took her to her two-week appointment today and learned several things:

1. Last week she weighed 7 lbs, 8 oz. This week? 8 lbs, 6 oz. So yeah, she gained almost a pound in ONE WEEK. She's a fatty. We love it.
2. Our pediatrician wasn't there when Afton was born--we didn't contact him and make an appointment until the day after. BIG mistake. We really wish he'd been there. Because apparently there's some stuff the hospital/doctor didn't tell us. Like the fact that she was really sick when she was born, because my anmiotic fluid was infected. No one EVER mentioned that.
3. Not only that, but apparently her Apgar score was a 2. We had no idea what this meant. That is 2 out of 10. If you don't know, an Apgar score is the condition of the infant within the first minute of life. My neice Bethany, who was 11 weeks early and a premature twin, got a 3. And she almost died when she was born. And Afton was a 2?? No one ever told us she was sick! We are pretty upset about it.
3. On the other hand, she is now a healthy, healthy girl! So whatever her condition when born, at least she bounced back very quickly. However, I do think that we will start seeing a different doctor.


Well, here's some more pictures because we are kinda ridiculous about taking them...
