13 days: Officially 6lb 12oz, +0.25" length, +0.5cm head

Our trip to the doctor was successful. Arley was calm and took all the poking in stride. It turns out she was up over 8oz from her last visit, so she's gaining well over an ounce a day, though it certainly seems like a lot more to us. The doctor said she's perfect... but we already knew that!

We also managed to capture one of her turtles last night:

All and all, Arley is a great little girl, who only seems to cry when she is hungry or needs a diaper change, and even then, we are getting better at detecting those states and being proactive before the crying starts.

Finally, we've discovered the joys of swaddling... the warmth and security simulates the womb; a wrapped up little Arley is a happy Arley.
