2 Weeks Old!

Wow... it is so hard to believe that two weeks have passed since Ava was born!

Just look at the difference in the Mommy Body:

5/22/13

6/5/13... What a difference 2 weeks makes!

Ava is doing really well.  She eats, then sleeps for 2-3 hours.  She is starting to stay awake more during the day.  I get two or three moments during the day when she is awake for at least 30 minutes and looking at me!

So happy when she is fed and dry!

Two weeks old... so squishable!

We went to school today for a little bit.  She was a bit out of sorts and kept waking up thinking she wanted to eat.  Different lights, different noise, and LOTS of people coming over to look at her got a little overwhelming for her, but she did pretty well!  My thumb pacified her for a while, but then she wanted to "real deal".  What is it with my kids not wanting an actual pacifier???

Here's the two-week stats:

Weight: 9.2 lbs... we go back to the doctor on Monday

Length: 20 1/2 inches
Eyes: dark blue... I think.  They aren't really open long enough to tell!
Hair: Lots of dark hair!
Sleep: Depends on the night.  Some nights, I get a nice 4 hour stretch and then a few 2 1/2 hour spurts... other nights we're up every two hours!
Eat: That's the only downfall with nursing - I don't know exactly how much she is eating!  She eats until she is full, then she stops.  Most of the time, nursing takes 30-45 minutes each time she eats. 

Lucas is doing well with her.  He's had some behavior things the last few days, but we'll get through it!  Lots of crying, "I don't want to...", "No!"  I know it is a phase, but my tired patience isn't doing well with it.  Next week, he will be home with me and Ava all day long.  Scott is working this summer, but thankfully will be home by 2:30 or so each day.  I have alerted my army of help to the fact that I will need LOTS of help this summer, as I am already over having 2 kids in diapers!  I told Lucas this is the last week for diapers and that next week we are going to wear underwear and Pull Ups.  Heaven help me...

He's so cute...
