It is hard to believe that Brooklyn is two weeks old already...almost three! We had her two week appointment yesterday with Dr. Terwilliger. I had a lot of questions for him. I asked about the dimple near her spine and her feet. He said that they were absolutely nothing to worry about. He was confident that her feet would straighten as she begins to walk and put weight on them and he said that her dimple is in a spot that it would not affect her spinal cord. He said that they would continue to watch it just to make sure it doesn't get any bigger. PHEW! At two weeks old she now weighs 10lbs 3.4 ounces!! That is a 1.6 pounds she has gained in two weeks! She's getting so big! She also grew an inch and a quarter....she is 21 1/4 inches long. Her eyes are still gunky but he said that was clogged tear ducts and showed me how to massage her ducts to help them work better. She did have to get her first shot..Hep B. She took it like a champ though...screamed for only a brief second.
Her personality is showing more and more each day. My favorite time is when she first wakes up and looks up at me with her big eyes. I fall in love all over again. She makes the cutest and funniest faces while stretching and waking up.
She's always hungry and loves to eat! She is eating about 4 ounces every 3 hours now. Sometimes more or less and sometimes sooner or later. She hates her car seat right now because of the head rest...I think once spring comes and we can take out the BundleMe it will be much easier on her. She sleeps really well and sound during the day but at night she seems to just catnap. She wakes up every 3 hours to eat..but it usually takes her a good hour to fall asleep after she eats so she is really only sleeping about 2 hours at a time at night...I try to sleep when she does but don't like to sleep the day away.
She has changed so much since our few days in the hospital when she was born. Its hard to believe how fast she is really growing...
