due date

Incidentally, today was Uma's due date. We're quite happy to have gotten her happy and healthy 15 days early. It was an early and significant reminder to us of the limits of our knowledge and control over the future.

the second appointment

Today was our second appointment at the pediatrician. It was mostly uneventful. Uma was 6 lbs. 9.6 oz at birth and also at the first appointment 9 days ago. Newborns generally lose weight immediately after birth and then regain it within two weeks, generally gaining about 4-8 oz per week. Uma's been chubbing up, so we were expecting her to clear 7 lbs. We were surprised and pleased to discover she's bulked up to 7 lbs. 7oz. That's 13oz. in just 9 days. My girl's a champion nurser, she is.

And the exciting conclusion....

Continuing in the series...

You can just barely see her dimples. That's right; our baby has dimples.

Are you just going to leave me here on the floor?

I'm not sure what that face is.

Four generations of matrilineage.

Maybe this is how you hold a baby...

What the heck is going on?

Uma meets her great grandmother for the first time.

Uma meets her other grandmother for the very first time.

I don't recognize you....

My mother finally gets to see Uma awake.

Bashful.

Mark my words. I'm going to poop, and it's going to be big.

Didn't we just do this a few days ago?

I had nothing to do with that wet spot. You can't prove a thing.

cutting the cord...

In new news, Uma shed her umbilical cord in the night. I have to cop to wiggling it a little bit yesterday evening, just to see... She has a belly button now.

Did you get a chance to see my uvula? No? Ok, here's another shot.

Uma shows off her uvula while Molly stands a vigilant guard.

First doctor's appointment

Uma's first doctor's appointment was good. She looked a little jaundiced, but that's fading. Her heart rate and breathing were good. We were pleased (and a little surprised) to discover that she has already gained back the weight she lost after birth; she weighed in at almost exactly her birth weight. She's a good little nurser. We did have a little problem when she pooped in her carrier and it leaked out... Had to call ahead and tell them we'd be late. That's my stinker.

Baby's first walk.

There's my lady. It's hard to imagine she gave birth only 6 days ago.

Sometimes, Uma hangs out with her mother.

Get me out of here already!!!

I have no dignity. But I do have feet.

Just got back from the doctor.

Mmm... fist.

Happy baby (with my cousin).

The cross-legged pose is so cute.
