Yesterday was Julia’s two week birthday! We had her 2 week check-up and she’s doing great. She now weighs 6lbs 9oz and grew 1/2 an inch. She’s been eating like a champ and the doctor was thrilled with her. They also said that we could stop waking her up to eat every few hours as she’s now back over her birth weight… unfortunately for us, the sleep-deprived parents, she really likes to eat and wakes up on her own every 2 to 3 hours anyway. But we’re not complaining – that’s a good problem to have!
Overall the last two weeks have been really good. Most of the credit for that goes to Grandma Lesley. Without her here we would have survived but we would not have eaten so well, slept so well or retained the small amount of sanity we have left! We can’t thank her enough.
We have started to get into a routine of sorts and are exploring all kinds of new things. So far the bouncy seat is okay for a few minutes, the sling carrier is good for a little while, Julia hasn’t made a decision on whether she likes the swing or not, and sleeping on Mom or Dad is the best. She also likes tummy time and is a very strong little girl; she does lots of baby pushups and works her leg and neck muscles. For Andrew and I, our favorite pastime these days is watching all of Julia’s different expressions. She has quite a repertoire, especially when she is just waking up!
