Two Weeks Old!

Time really fly's by when you are having fun. I can’t believe Carolina is already 2 weeks old. I don’t even remember life without her around. Nathan and I are both so in love with this little miracle. Nathan has been so much help around the house and is absolutely wonderful with Carolina. 
He loves his little girl and he is the BEST daddy!

This past Monday was Carolina's weight check up after her first appointment the Friday before. The doctor said she is doing wonderfully. She went from weighting 7lbs 3oz the day we left the hospital, to 7lbs 5.5oz at her first appointment Friday. At her appointment Monday she was weighting in at 7lbs 10.5oz and now at her appointment Thursday was exactly 8lbs. That means no more appointments for two weeks, she will be a month old then! Our little girl is already getting so big. There is thankfully no popping or clicking in her hips even though she was breeched for quite a while in there. Her doctor is very happy with her weight gain and her health since we left the hospital. 

EATING PATTERNS:

Breastfeeding is going GREAT… Carolina LOVES it. She has set her on schedule to every 2 hours and will eat for a good 20-30 mins. This past week she has even been taking the bottle from grandma and daddy a few times.

 NEW THINGS WE HAVE DONE:

To be so tiny she is doing BIG things. She is already starting to hold her head up and she is also trying to roll over. Carolina laughs at daddy all the time and loves to smile at everything. She found our dog Honey Bee and my mom's dog Baby, she will sit there and watch them run around after each other. We are going to try our first big girl bath tonight since her cord has finally fallen off and healed up wonderfully. 

I will post a video tonight to show the outcome, keep your fingers crossed and wish us good luck!

SLEEPING PATTERNS:

We LOVE our afternoon naps and most nights she is a pretty good sleeper. Last night she did amazing and slept up to 4 hours, even though she slept on mommy on the couch the whole time. Occasionally she will want to be a tad nocturnal and get mommy to stay up with her. Other than that she has been pretty great... She wakes up to be changed and eat and then she is usually right back to sleep for a couple more hours.

WHAT YOU LIKE TO DO:

Carolina LOVES her flower swing… She could sit in it all day long and be the happiest little girl.

DISLIKES:

So far Tummy time is not something we quite enjoy yet. We are still working at it but it's not turning out too good so far.

DIAPER SIZE:

We are still wearing newborn diapers and thankfully now that her cord has finally fallen off, we can start using our Charlie Banana reusable diapers!!

CLOTHING SIZE:

As of now we are wearing all newborn clothes and even some of them seem to be too big. Occasionally we will wear a 0-3 month gown but other than that, just newborns for now!

WEIGHT AND LENGTH:
Exactly 8lbs and 22 in long!
