2 weeks

Our little girl is now 2 weeks old and is quickly turning from a newborn into a baby. She is such a joy and is overall such an easy baby. She sleeps so well at night, even going 5 hrs two nights in a row. She wakes to eat, and then after just a few minutes rocking she is back sound asleep in her crib. We do think she is having some reflux issues, so we are elevating one side of her bed. We bought gripe water which I think worked pretty well for her reflux/gas pain.

She can definitely focus better and is starting to "talk" to toys/shapes/lights, still mostly silent mouthing but she does have the occasional coo that escapes.

She is soooo strong and can hold her head up for increasing amounts of time.

Her eyes look more and more blue every day and we think she has a dimple.



My sister and her family were able to come visit us last weekend, so Bailey got to meet a few of her Aunt/Uncle/Cousins. Then we had a crazy few days that involved Micah traveling home for a funeral, a plane flight that i booked for the wrong day, a quick booking of a second flight after a period of crying over my mistake that cost us 100 dollars, I got a UTI and had crazy painful bladder spasms, and Bailey had one day where she was hurting with gas and refused to nap.

We went to her 2 week check-up on Wed. and she weighed in at exactly 8 lbs 5 oz which was the goal to get her back to birth weight by 2 weeks.

This week Bailey made her first trip to the grocery store and to Kohls. She slept through all of it much to her mommy's delight.

We are so blessed to have had such an easy pregnancy/delivery/and newborn so far. I know I will cherish these next few months where I get to spend so much time with her.
