it's hard to believe our little baby is already 2 weeks old! it's crazy how when you're pregnant, the weeks drag by, but once that baby is here, you have no idea where the time goes!
this little baby sure is the cutest thing you've ever seen :)
she really is a good baby most of the time. we've had an interesting time figuring out the whole nursing thing but i think we're finally learning what direction to go with it. i'm going to start supplementing with some formula a few feedings a day because i don't think i produce enough milk to keep this little munchkin happy with a full belly.
just a few things i want to remember from these last 2 weeks:
cuddle time has been awesome. she is especially cuddly in the morning hours between about 5:00-9:00. usually we do an early morning feeding and then we both snuggle up on the recliner and sleep there till about 9. i love it.
she always sneezes 4 times
she can't keep her hands out of her mouth and just loves to suck on them. not 1 or 2 fingers in particular- she likes to put a whole fist full into her mouth
she actually sleeps pretty well at night- usually goes down around midnight and wakes up around 4:30-5.
she doesn't mind her carseat at all and usually passes out within minutes of us driving anywhere
she has already made a few road trips- first one to swiss days in midway and the second one to logan to visit her friends and see where her uncle nate will be living at usu for the next school year
she has had tons of visitors in the last few weeks and we are so grateful for all the love and support from our friends and family!
she will very rarely take a binky
she's teeny-tiny. none of her newborn clothes fit.
she has the biggest eyes and is usually awake during the day looking around (she doesn't sleep as much as the typical newborn). her eyes are starting to become more blue and i think her blonde hair has some curl to it.... just what i wanted... a blonde hair blue eyed baby girl!
she went to the pediatrician today for her first check up.
she weighed in at 6 lbs 6 oz and 20 inches long. he wants to keep watching her weight but says she's a perfectly healthy and happy little baby!
she loves going on walks
when she has a full belly, there is nothing in the world that we can do to keep her up and awake
we sure love this little nugget. i'll post about her birth story soon!
3 love notes:
Liz, she is amazing!! So absolutely beautiful. I too, struggled with nursing, a lot!! I figured out some tricks after my second baby. I'd love to share them if you want. Call me. You know my number!! If not Laura has it. Can't wait to see her in person. Ellen
I am dying! She is such a beauty!
SO SO SO ADORABLE!! :)
