Quick update

I had to take Alex to the doctor yesterday for a two-week check-up. Our doctor had wanted to make sure that she was doing alright and not showing any signs of a GBS infection. (I'm GBS (group strep B) positive and the standard treatment for women to reduce the risk of the baby getting the infection is to receive intravenous penicillin during labour and delivery. But because Alex was born so quickly, I didn't get the drugs so she's been monitored more closely ever since.)

Anyway, she's doing fine and the doctor says there is no longer a need for concern. But the interesting news is how much she's grown in two weeks. Our little miss now weighs 9 lbs 7 ozs (two pounds more than at birth) and has grown a inch in length. No wonder she's already starting to outgrow some of her pjs!
