First Two Weeks At Home

Emerson, we are so blessed to have you in our lives sweet baby girl.  You have been the best little baby.  From day one you have been sleeping 4-5 hours at a time.  You rarely cry unless you're hungry (and most of the time I have to wake you up to make you eat).

Mommy and daddy have loved spending these first two weeks at home with you.  If I could just stop time right now I would because I have enjoyed every single minute of what our family has become.  When your big sister gets home from school, she loves holding you or helping mommy in any way that she can because she loves you so much.

At your one week visit you were down to 6 lbs 12.5 oz.  You were just on the borderline of the acceptable amount of weight loss, so we had to go back in one week for a follow up.  At two weeks you were up to 7 lbs 4 oz, which mommy thought was pretty good, but the pediatrician said you still weren't gaining weight fast enough.  He gave us another two weeks to prove you could gain weight on your own before recommending any further action.  I think you must have been listening because that very day you started eating every two hours during the day (still sleeping 4-5 hours at night thank goodness!)
