Two Weeks Old!

Sophie is two weeks old today!

**Note: This post was started last Saturday when she was two weeks old. Yeah, life got a wee bit busy and I'm just now getting back to it now that she's nearly 3 weeks old.**

She is becoming much more alert during the day and stays awake for an hour or so at a time a few times a day. Nights are still pretty rough with her waking every three to four hours for feedings meaning I get only two to three hours of sleep at a time - if she's not fussy in between.

We've had a few diaper blow-outs, one of which resulted in poo all over her leg and foot (and Mommy's hand when she didn't realize where the poo had gone). I laugh at the facial expressions she makes on a daily basis, especially when feeding. She has a tendency to get ahead of herself and dives for the boob at feeding time.

We had two weight checks this past week. On Monday, we returned for the first weight check since her first appointment. Sadly, there was no change. Our pediatrician suspected that since my milk didn't come in until last Friday that she had actually lost more then began gaining to end up back at 5lbs 4oz. We returned on Thursday to be sure this was the case and check that she was gaining. At Thursday's appointment she was up 3 ounces in 3 days to 5lbs 7oz. Yay!
