Well nobody was right. The reason is because my poll had a flaw. I failed to factor in ½ ounces. Gabi’s vital statistics are as follows:
Weight: 12 lbs. 15.5 oz. (25 percentile)
Height: 23¼ inches (12 percentile)
Head Circumference: 15½ inches (10 percentile)
The doctor said that if he didn’t already know it, there is nothing to indicate that Gabi was premature. She is in excellent condition.
One problem we are having is that she is not sleeping as well as she used to. One thing is that her little nose gets stuffy over night. We are addressing that by putting a cool mist humidifier in her (our) room. The doctor thinks that she is also hungry, so he thinks it’s time to start her on cereal, just at night. So you can expect to see a video here soon of Gabi’s first cereal escapade.
Gabi had 3 vaccinations today, one oral, and two shots. She was a pretty good little trooper.
We received a care package from my sister-in-law in Argentina. She sent Jeff and I jerseys of the Argentina National Fútbol (soccer) team. She sent Gabi a uniform of the Argentine Fútbol team River. She said Rachel’s present was coming later. Rachel already has an Argentine Fútbol jersey. Here is Gabi in her uniform. She’s pretty sporting, don’t you think. It’s a little too big for her, but that’s okay, it will just fit her longer!
Tomorrow is Rachel’s 2nd birthday. Her doctor’s appointment is next Monday. Go ahead and vote on my poll for her weight.
