Little Miss Emily Gets a Big Head

Well, Emily got measured yesterday. She is now 1 lb, 8 oz. That’s a 50% weight gain over the past three weeks! She’s also a bit longer; 12 1/4 ” compared to 11 1/2 ” at birth. Her head circumferance has also increased by 1 cm in the past week. Yesterday she needed a new breathing tube put in, and she fought the doctors and nurses every step of the way. The doctor commented on how feisty she was and says they like it when the tiny babies are like that. We also figured out she can wiggle her ears, a trait neither of her parents shows. The past few days we’ve seen them move up and down and side to side.
