Arwen’s home and things are going well. We went to the doc today to check her out again and she is doing well. The jaundice is going away well it seems and they checked her levels again today. She went down from her birth weight of 7lbs 5oz. to 6lbs 11oz. in the hospital but today she was back up to 7lbs 3oz. which was great news. The doc expected her weight to have dropped so for it to have gone up was a big success. She’s nursing well and we are just having to supplement a tiny bit now. I have to get busy pumping more milk though.
Anya had her check up too and she weighs in at 38lbs and is 3ft. 5 inches tall. She’s in the 50th percentile for her age so she’s not under or over weight. She’s just right. And we have been so incredibly proud of her. She did very well for her Granny and Pop Pop while they kept her and she has been just so sweet to Arwen. She’s held her once and gives her kisses and this morning she was comparing her foot to Arwen’s. I’m very glad that she’s doing so well. Travis and I are so proud and impressed at our first little girl. And Arwen is a very impressive eater and pooper too!
We will post some more photos throughout this week and I’ll probably be calling lots of people tomorrow as Travis has to go back to work and I’m a bit nervous of being all by myself.
And yes Arwen is from “The Lord of the Rings” book and yes, its a name that Travis really likes, I like to let him pick the names, as I can come up with even more unusual names than Arwen believe it or not. People will get used to it and I’m sure its going to fit her. We met a couple in Vegas that named their daughter Arwen when we had Anya and we have always considered that name ever since. Serena is in honor of my best friend/sister in Vegas who I still miss daily and usually talk to at least twice a day. Serena was very surprised and we hope to head back to Vegas for her meet her sometime this summer.
Hope all is well with everyone and feel free to call us to say hi!
