Rakelli had her two week doctor appointment today.  She is healthy and doing great. 
She weighs 5 lbs 9 oz now, which is just barely over her birth weight (which is the goal for the two week appointment).  Her length is 19.75 inches.  For her weight, she is 1.08%tile and for her length, she is 23.79%tile.  Basically, that means she looks long and skinny.  She has been so much fun already.  The boys all love and adore her.  They are so excited when she has her "awake time," which is becoming a little more frequent.  She eats about every three or four hours for five to ten minutes, but that's plenty for her and she is gaining weight well.  Zander asks usually once a day to hold her.  He will come up to me and put his hands in a bowl shape.  While looking at them, he says, "Mom, can I hold it?"  It's so cute to me :)  Anyway, I never showed her pictures on the day we took her home from the hospital. 
She is so tiny in her car seat. 
Of course, she really looks like that still, but I know it won't last long.
