2 Weeks Old

Our sweet little Audrey is 2 weeks old today. She went to her first baby checkup! She weighed in at 8 lbs. and 7 oz. (almost gained an entire pound!) Her head is in the 75 percentile! Way to go. She has the Boston head.
She has been a great baby so far. She is so sweet. There are so many times she is just hanging around looking at all of us. She can be very calm. She almost looks like she is thinking. She is also doing well at nights. She usually only gets up twice!! I am sure we still have many more sleepless nights ahead but I will take as much sleep as I can get!


I have decided that Avery and Audrey must have been best friends in heaven. Avery is always by her side. She is gentle and caring. She has never acted jealous. Whenever I go to change Audrey or bath her or feed her, Avery has to follow. She isn't pushing either. She just wants to be by her sister.



The other girls are also doing great. Kennady has taken on the role of Avery's mother. Kennady says that since I can't carry Avery it is her job to take care of her. She usually gets on her P.J's for me at night. She reads her many stories. She is always playing with her outside. Kennady has really been a great helper to me.


Sydney is just in love with Audrey. She is always saying, " I just love that cute baby" or " That baby of mine is so cute." Sydney is always wanting to hold Avery. She is also very gentle except that she thinks she is big enough to hold the baby all around the house. She doesn't like that she is not allowed to hold her standing up!


I also have to say just a few thank you's . First of all I need to thank all of you for your phone calls, visits, emails, and kindness. I have not had to cook one meal yet! I have the best family, friends and neighbors. They have all pitched in to help me with dinners, taking my kids so I can have a break, cleaning my house, and most of all being a listening ear. My cute husband has been so great to help out with whatever I need. In fact when I was having an emotional day he came home and played the first song that is on my playlist for me. He said that it is his song for me. Sometimes that's just what you need to hear. I am so thankful to all of you. You all make my life better!!
