Two Weeks



The little pampered princess is 2 weeks old, and the latest weight check was 10lb 14oz. I know she's getting plenty of milk, even though nursing is still a bit painful. I have a crack that just won't heal, and the nice lactation consultant wasn't really sure what else to do to help me. So we'll just endure it, and I know that it will eventually heal and nursing will no longer hurt at all.
Things are settling down at home, we're getting used to having six of us instead of five - and though Callie had a very fussy time last night before bed, she only got up once. Which makes for a happier mommy.
Lex is getting so very vocal, everything is for him, when I ask the other kids to do something he says, 'No, ME!' and tries to do it himself. Mr. Independent. Now if I can just get him potty trained :) Changing a million diapers a day isn't too much fun.
I can hardly believe we've only known Miss Callie for two weeks. Her dark hair, her little noises when she nurses, those fingers that grasp anything she can get a hold of. The dimple in her fat cheek, the dimples in her elbows. It seems like she has always been here. Before I know it, she'll be running around the house after Lex, Gwen, and Hunter. Though I'm not quite ready for that yet :)
