2 weeks old

Maybe one day I will be able to find time to type up her birth story. We are doing well, just working on her latch. She is getting enough to eat for sure, just causing Mom some pain. At one week old she was back up to 10 lbs. Yesterday, at two weeks old she was 10 lbs. 10 oz! She is not starving. =)
She is sleeping about a 4-6 hour span at night, but due to her sleep grunting, I can't. Ha! And she is eating about every 1-2 hours during the day, with a LOT of awake time. She is smiling a lot, especially when she recognizes her dad when he comes home from work.
She is struggling w/ a lot of gas pains and gets really fussy at night before bed time.
But overall, she is so good and adorable! Today, I turn 30, and I am so grateful to God for such a special gift.

Wow, sleeping 4-6 hour stretches at a time while breastfeeding? You are one lucky lady! I do completely understand about the sleep grunting and the gas. It sounds like they are in SOOOO much pain, doesn't it? Does Sydney have the loudest farts too? Carder does!
Glad to hear the weight gain is going well.
