Elizabeth's 2 week check up

This morning we took Elizabeth to her 2 week Dr. appointment. All ready to go...

The big news...she now weighs 7lbs. 15oz. she's made it past her birthweight now!! We were so excited that she has finally begun gaining weight well. It has been a long couple of weeks with multiple (3) weight check appointments. Right now she is getting a combination of breastmilk and formula at just about every feeding (8 times/day). Without going into too much detail, hopefully within the next couple of weeks she'll be only on breastmilk. I've been working on increasing my milk supply and her gaining weight. This makes for a long feeding time - lots going on at least - nursing, bottle-feeding, and pumping. Thank goodness Daddy helps out in the middle of the night, so we aren't up too long at a time, but only getting 2hrs. of sleep in the middle is catching up with us. We try to get a nap during Madilynn's naptime to help with the loss of sleep.

We have noticed that Elizabeth is starting to be awake a little more during the day, maybe 2-3 hours total. She's more alert during those times and moves around more.

Well, that's all for now..gotta go sterilize bottles!
