19 days old!

Today Lauren had her 2 week check up (even though it was almost 3 weeks~!) She is getting so big! She has gained weight from her previous appointment: 2 lbs 15 oz and now weighs 8 lbs 15 oz and she is now 2 1/4 inches longer to make a total of 22 1/4 inches long. We just love her so much. We were happy last night to get 3 hours in between each feeding! She hasn't been very consistent with sleeping but we just keep reminding ourselves that she is still a very new infant and getting adjusted to life with us as much as we are getting adjusted to life with her :) We wouldn't have it any other way though. We get to spend all of our free time with this darling little girl :) We love you Lauren Grace

10 days old

Our little angel is 10 days old already! She has been such a blessing to our lives.
My parents left on Sunday afternoon, so I have been adjusting to being home alone with Lauren. Things have been going pretty well. I have been very tired but that is to be expected. We have had our ups and downs with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, bowel movements, schedules etc but it all seems to be balancing out. When we aren't changing diapers, boiling bottles, feeding, making supper, doing laundry, of playing Farkle or Cube Crash.... we now spend our time staring at this little beauty!
