2 weeks!

I cannot believe my baby girl is 2 weeks old now!  She just gets cuter and cuter everyday.  I took her in for her 2 week well-baby check-up and she is growing fast!  She is now 8 lbs 5 oz and is 21 1/2 in long.  She grew 2 1/2 inches in 2 weeks!!!  Doctor predicts she is going to be tall.  She has the biggest feet to grow into and she passed up Memphis who was only 19 1/2 in. at his two week appt.

I am so so grateful for my in-laws and my parents for coming and staying with me these past two weeks!  I would not have survived without them!!!  I got more sleep and help with Memphis which made life easier to get through each day.  Now my help is gone and I am surviving on my own with two kids.  Kayzee is sleeping longer stretches (3-4 hours in between feedings instead of 2 hours) at night and Memphis is learning to be gentle with his baby sister.  We are all doing well and love our newest addition to our little family.

It was picture day at my school and each teacher gets a free package so I dressed up my kids and we got our pictures taken.  I was all smiles:)  Memphis was scared of the chicken the photographer kept throwing around so he kept screaming.  I had to hold him on my lap so the photographer is going to crop me out of the one picture we could get of him smiling.  Kayzee cried for a little bit but them opened her eyes for some of the shots so we will see how her picture turns out.  What an adventure!  I got them home and took some photos of my own so I could share them.  ENJOY!!!  There are also some pictures of the last two weeks at home with our new baby Kayzee.

  1. Aleena -- your kids are SOOO cute! Kayzee is absolutely gorgeous (not that you don't already know that!). I still can't get over how amazing it is that we each have a boy and then a girl, 19 months apart!!! What an incredibly small world, and what a wonderful bond:) How are you doing? How is life with 2 going so far? Is it what you expected? Easier? Less easy?
