Two weeks old!

Emily had her 2-week checkup today, and she has grown an inch since she was born! She's two ounces shy of 10 lbs, although a few ounces here and there are accounted for by the massive pooping she likes to do. She's blown out 3 outfits now, and Travis thinks it's hilarious to be holding her while business is going down. Apparently it's her oblivion to what the other end is doing that really cracks him up.

I have been updating pictures on her picasa webpage, so you can see for yourself how beautiful she is. She has slept for as much as 3.5 hours in a stretch at night, but also can be awake for that same length of time. It's frustrating when that stretch is 2:30 AM until 6 AM, but nice when it's in the afternoon and she is awake to charm her grandparents and uncles. I think she gets bored, and wants to eat for lack of ability to do anything else. She likes gazing at the bears on a mobile that hang over the pack'n'play, or the fascinating black-framed photos on the wall of the living room. Sometimes she's bored with them, sometimes she gets overwhelmed - can you imagine being overwhelmed by a 3-inch stuffed bear? :) Fortunately, my supply has regulated itself a bit so I can handle the snacking better, and my chest is no longer in constant agony.

Travis's mom was here to help me through my long Monday. Trav still has 3 classes left before he's officially done with grad school, so that's 3 more weeks of him leaving at 7 AM for work and home at 10 PM from class. It's so much better when he comes home from work at 5 like normal! And he misses his girl, too, being gone all day. I can't even fathom leaving her for a few hours, much less going to work all day. How on earth am I supposed to figure out going back to work?!?!?
