Two weeks old

I can't believe it already, Mackenzie is two weeks old. She becomes more and more beautiful everyday as she grows and changes. At her doctor's appointment yesterday she was 5 pounds, 14 ounces, 19.75 inches long. They are very happy with her growth, etc and we are as well.

We are now in full swing of being up all night as she dictates and trying to figure out the best ways to care for her. It seems as though she has some gas issues either from feeding too fast or from what I am eating before she eats. The pediatrician gave us a list of foods that I eat that will make it worse and those that will make it better. This list is more particular than the diabetic diet was. She has done better the last two days so we will see how things go.

Everyday brings us something new. Yesterday she had her first bottle of breastmilk from her daddy instead of directly from me. She seemed to enjoy it. She is awake often during the day and her nights are touch and go. Some nights she sings her little song for hours whereas other nights she will sleep for 4-6 hours at a time. Josh goes back to work Monday so it is time to start working on a schedule for her.

She likes to be held on your chest when you sit in the recliner. She also likes when we hold her and walk around or dance. Josh is particularly good with holding her and keeping moving to keep her happy. She loves to sit in her swing or her bounces but only if she's in the mood for it.

Overall, things seem to be going well. I just hope we can be the best parents that we can to this wonderful little girl.
