Long day for the growing girl!

Today was a long day for a growing girl. Let you give you a real brief summary of what I did today before I head off to bed.
We got up this morning and I went to breast feeding support group with Mommy. There were about 10 kids in there and once again mommy told me I was the prettiest. I was also the star of the class. My suckling techniques is second to none according to the lactation nurse. Daddy finally picked us up at 11am and we headed home for lunch. Mommy and daddy had a sandwich on the patio while I stayed in my car seat and swung in my snug glider. (Thank you Laurie) After lunch, daddy headed back to work and mommies' attention came back to ME! In the morning I showed her how well I can feeding and now it was time to show mommy how what goes in must come out. After three diapers later and quite the mess, mommy feed me again before it was time to head to the doctor for my two week check up. Daddy came by to swoop us up and head over for our appointment.
At the appointment I weighed in at 8 lbs. 8oz. and measured 21 1/4"! Wow I had gained 2 oz since birth and over an inch. The doctor was really impressed with the weight I had put back on. The doctor gave me a really good exam and said I was looking good, nothing to be concerned about. She said I don't have to come back to see her for 6 weeks. She said something about some vaccinations at that visit, wonder what that word means.....
From the doctor's office we stopped by mommy's office for a quick visit. Everyone wanted to see how I came out after cooking inside mommy for the past 9 months. After that I was exhausted! We all went home and took a nap on the bed. That's right the entire family... All five of us. What you thought we would leave out Bella and Oliver from nap time.
