2 Weeks

Kate was two weeks old yesterday, hard to believe. Part of me cant imagine how life was without her but yet it feels like just yesterday that she was born. We had a doctors appointment today. Kate now weights 8 lbs 12 oz and is 21 inches long, the doctor says this puts her in the 25th percentile. Kate is starting to respond more when we talk to her. She even smiled at Jeff when he came home from work on Monday. He loved that of course! She is also starting to grab things like my hair, our hands, and her pacifier.Kate had her first real bath on Sunday, up until then she had only had sponge baths. She seemed to like it and loves to have her hair washed.
Kate also had her first tummy time experience today. She liked it but only for a short amount of time. The whole time she tries to push herself up with her back legs but of course she isn't strong enough and becomes frustrated and cries.We are all starting to get into a routine. Kate usually gets her last bottle around 11 and then we all go to bed. She then wakes up between 3-4 and then again between 6-7 then if I'm lucky she goes back to sleep for an hour or two. The lack of sleep is starting to get to me but she usually takes a long nap during the day so I have some time to myself to take a nap or just have some me time. I do miss my nights of uninterrupted sleep and my mornings of sleeping in but its hard to be too upset with her when she you pick her up and she smiles at you. But I cant wait until she is sleeping through the night : )
