An Update

We took Lauren in for her first check up with her pediatrician yesterday.  Everything looks great!  She has lost about 6% of her birth weight, and is now weighing 6 pounds, 15 ounces.  The doctor said anything between 5 and 10% is normal.  So we are right within that target range.  Lauren is doing everything that most newborns should do- eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom.  We are enjoying our immense amounts of snuggle time together.  This is another one of those "bottle this time up" moments in my life.  I am literally trying to savor every minute.

Taylor had quite the traumatic event take place for him on Monday night.  He fell in the den and smacked his mouth on the hardwood floors.  After wiping away the IMMENSE amount of blood, we noticed that one of his bottom front teeth was knocked.  The pediatric dentist feels that it has been moved too far forward to be moved back to the correct position.  Therefore, we have an appointment tomorrow at 10am to have the tooth removed.  Poor little guy.  His world has been completely upside down with a new baby, and now he has all this mouth trauma going on.  We will no doubt have a lot to tell Lauren about the days right after she was born!

I am including a picture of Taylor showing Lauren a picture of a triangle that he just cut out of paper.  If you look carefully, you can see the bottom front tooth that has been knocked forward.
