Can't believe sweet little Genevieve has been with us for two weeks now. Time sure does fly, which everyone says it would. We had our two week check up. Genevieve is looking great and has pretty much regained her birth weight. She was 4oz shy of meeting it but the nurse practitioner said it was close enough that she is counting it a success. No shots today but she will need a booster when we go back on August 20th. Mommy did get a shot today though (the tdap vaccination). Our pediatricians office has 8 doctors and 8 nurse practitioners. We were really impressed with the nurse practitioner we met with today. We will definitely keep her on the "like" list for the future.
Things Of Note So Far:
* Midnight - Before Genevieve, I never stayed up late. It was rare for me to make it past midnight and when I did it was New Year's Eve or I was having trouble sleeping. Every since Genevieve was born I have seen midnight pretty much every night. I feel like we are new friends.
* She is sort of interested in her pacifier. It is mainly in the mornings and late afternoon. She definitely won't take it at night. She just needs to figure out how to keep it in her mouth as she's falling asleep.
* She does not like the carseat until it is in the car.
* We are exclusively breastfeeding. No routine has been established yet. Feedings usually ranges from every 2 to 3 hours.
* People are crazy generous with bring us food. We are so thankful for all their love and support. If I play my cards right, I may not have to cook till Thanksgiving. Thank you all!
* Her favorite place to sleep is on my chest. We are trying to transfer her to sleeping in her bassinet but we are not 100% successful yet.
* She is in newborn clothes and diapers.
* Everyone says it but it's so true...You don't realize how much you can love someone so little so fast. Even when she is screaming at me at 2am I never wish to go back to life before.
* I love seeing the look on Josh's face when he is looking at her. It has brought out a whole new, wonderful side of him.
