2 Weeks Old

Hallie turned 2 weeks yesterday. I can't believe that it's been 2 weeks already. She had her 2 week appointment yesterday. She weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. and is 21 inches long. She has grown one inch and is down exactly one pound. The doctor isn't too worried right now about the weight loss, but he does want to see her back next week for a weight check to make sure she is gaining and not losing more or staying the same. He said that she should gain an ounce per day, so we are shooting for low 8 lbs next week. As long as she is gaining we won't have to worry about it, if she's not then I'll have to start supplementing. Hopefully everything will go well and she will gain some weight. She is staying awake more during the day and sleeping pretty good at night. She usually goes to bed around 9 or 10 and sleeps until 1 or 2, eats and then goes back down until sometime between 6 and 8. Not too bad. Hopefully a sign of a good sleeper in the future. My mom left to go back home this morning, so now starts the real test of how to manage this on my own while Jeremy is at work. It's not going to be easy filling the big shoes that my mom has left. She was such a HUGE help! We miss you mom, thanks for all your help. We couldn't have done it without you these first 2 weeks!
