I can't believe it's been two weeks! Funny, it feels like Scarlett has been with us forever and it feels like time has flown by. I can't imagine life without Scarlett. What did I do with myself? Was I bored? Can it be that we've been home from the hospital for less than two weeks? It feels like ages ago that I was being wheeled into the operating room. I can't believe my mom has been here for almost two weeks and is leaving us on Wednesday. A harsh dose of reality is in our future. I don't even want to think about it!
Scarlett had her two week appointment with the pediatrician yesterday. She gained seven ounces in a week making her seven pounds, 5 ounces. Hurray for breast milk! She seems to have her days and nights confused, but the pediatrician said it's pretty common with newborns (supposedly if we were to move to Hong Kong she would be all good). He suggested that we try waking her to feed her every two hours during the day so she would be less hungry at night. We did it yesterday and it actually worked pretty well - she was up only three times to eat last night as opposed to five times the night before. I really don't mind getting up and feeding her, but I know things will change when Brandon has to go back to work. Thank goodness that doesn't happen for another two weeks. I love having him home. I love my new family. Love, love, love.
