September 8th was your first trip to the pediatrician. Mom and dad were so anxious. You were so tiny when we left the hospital, we were afraid we were starving you to death. Not to mention all you wanted to do those first few days home was sleep. It seemed to take us an hour just to get you awake enough to get food in you at every feeding. Being first time parents we had no idea what was normal, so we were of course worried we were doing it all wrong and you were suffering because of it. But that was not the case. Dr. Bottenfield said you were "Perfect"! Of course we knew that already, but it was good to hear it from a professional. When we left the hospital on Saturday you were 4 lbs 15 oz and by Tuesday you were back up to 5 lbs 5 oz, so we must be doing something right. So we left the doctor with orders to keep feeding you every 3 hours to make sure you keep gaining weight, beyond that, just keep on loving you to pieces...as if we could do anything else :-) You weren't very happy about daddy loading you into the carseat for your first trip out of the house!

I think you should be able to rent carseats for itty bitties like her and Jaden (once upon a time). It just swallows her up!
