2 Weeks

Wow. The first 2 weeks of Sadie's life have flown by. I took her to the doctor today to get weighed, measured and checked out. By 2 weeks, the doctors want the baby to at least gain their birth weight back. Well, Sadie far surpassed that expectation. She weighs 7 lbs. 11 oz. and measures 20 inches. I'm not surprised the kid has gained a pound extra. She eats A LOT. Here she is snoozing.
Ava decided today to pull out a hat and sunglasses and sport this style. She's hilarious.

I have to say (again while knocking on wood) the "new baby transition" has not been so bad. Of course I've had LOADS of help (Thanks Mom, Addie and Paul, Shell, Lin and Brian). Today is only my 2nd day of going it alone, and actually Shelley has had 2 of my kids the majority of the day. But, Sadie is a decent sleeper, and although she wants to be held constantly, I enjoy that. My ankles are still swollen, but seem to be getting smaller every day. Also, the pain from surgery has been fairly minimal (far better than my last 2 c-sections). So, I will count myself lucky and hope things continue to go well.

I'm loving my 5 kids and can say that I'm looking forward to the next phase in life (the never-to-be-pregnant again phase).
