Update:

Amelia Grace had her 2-week visit with the pediatrician today...she weighs 6lbs 10oz...so she gained back her birthweight which is what they were looking for at this appointment...she was born at 6lb 8oz...dropped down to 5lb 13oz...so her growth back to 6lb 10oz is perfect and the pediatrician was very happy with her progress.   The jaundice that she had is completely gone...she never did have to be admitted back to the hospital for phototherapy...much to the surprise of the Pediatric Resident that we saw 2 days in a row at Tripler...just had to go in for appointments to make sure all was ok...Granny took Amelia for some long walks and the Hawaiian sunshine was the best remedy for that!   Her biliruben level went from 16.8 one day to 9.9 the next...the Resident was so surprised that it was pretty funny!  

Let's see...her temperment is pretty easy going.  She doesn't cry very much only if something is really bothering her so we definitely are on alert when we hear a cry!  Connor is still super excited to be a big brother...and is going to use his karate moves to protect he said!
