Chloe is two weeks old today. She had her two week well check at the doctor and here are her stats: Chloe weighs 7lbs 7 oz and is 19 inches long (a week ago she was 6 lbs 12 oz and 18 inches). The doctor was very happy with her growth. What is funny to me is she is still smaller than Jillian was at birth.
The doctor mentioned that Chloe still looks a little jaundiced to her but not to worry about it unless one day she suddenly looks like a pumpkin. I guess there is a protein in some women's breast milk that can make the bilirubin hang around longer and she thinks I have that protein (makes sense since Jilly was jaundiced too). 
The doctor still heard the heart murmur but we're not going to do anything about that until after the two month check. I did mention that Chloe wheezes when she breathes at night and the doctor thought it could be caused by a floppy trachea which probably will correct itself with time. I don't think "floppy trachea" is an official medical term but that's what the doctor called it. I'm so used to having a very healthy baby so little Chloe is quite the adventure. Luckily, most of her medical concerns are just concerns and not major problems. At least not yet. We love our little Chloe and are so happy to have her in our family!

So little. Soon she will be the size Tanner was at birth. She has a ways to go before she is Vance's birthweight though. She looks like she definitely belongs in your family with all that dark hair. Cute.
She looks like a doll. I hope things continue to go well and she just grow and grows..ejnoy her while she is tiny.
She is soooo cute... but babies usually are! :) I love all the pictures!
