Sarah had her 2 week check up yesterday. Her head has grown from 14" to 14.25" which puts it at the 80 percentile. Her weight is up to 9 pounds 4 ounces which is at 86%. The big one: her height is 21.75" which puts her at 99%. We're hoping my tall genes dominated! The doctor was pleased with her exam, and says the umbilical cord will fall of any day now. Looking forward to that so we can give her a normal bath and don't have to be as careful changing diapers. She'll go back at 2 months to get lots of shots. So pitiful!
Sarah is rocking it in the sleep department these days! We feed her every 2.5 hours during the day, and we'd been feeding her every 3-4 hours at night, but yesterday the doctor gave us the go ahead to wait 4-5 hours at night. We just have to get in 8 feedings a day with a goal of 24 ounces of milk per day. Usually, 3-5 minutes before we're planning to feed her she waits us and fusses or just gets alert. Robert changes her diaper while I get the bottle and pump parts ready. Then he feeds her the bottle while I pump. It's a little bit harder and more drawn out in the day when I'm by myself. Speaking of which, Monday was my first full day on my own with Sarah, and we all survived!

Parenting initiation: A dirty diaper that resulted in my having to change my whole outfit in addition to Sarah's. First projectile vomit. Poop that landed on the carpet. Fun stuff!
Sarah has had lots of sweet visitors!
We love you, Sarah!
