Week 2: Heavyweight champ

This week Macy had her 2 week doctor appointment. We were shocked to find out she is up to 8 lbs 1 oz! She was born at 6 lbs 14 oz and left the hospital at 6 lbs 7 oz. I read that newborns should be back up to their birth weight by 2 weeks, so we were surprised by the weight gain. The pediatrician was very pleased! Macy is a great eater. She is eating breastmilk exclusively every 2-3 hours.

Double chin is proof of the weight gain!

We've had lots of fun with her over these two weeks. We love just staring at her and laugh at all of her goofy facial expressions and sounds. Macy is still a pretty happy baby and behaves so well (mostly sleeping) when I take her on errands with me and go for walks through the neighborhood. I'm having to get used to waking up 2-3 times a night for feedings and diaper changes. Fortunately, Macy loves to take naps together so I can recharge during the day. She also has longer periods of alertness during the day, which is fun. We see little smiles here and there and are thinking (hoping) she is looking at us and maybe recognizing us and our voices.
