Three weeks old


Harli is now three weeks old. She is gaining weight and even has two chins!! We are hoping that when we go to the doctor on the 23rd that Miss Harli is up to 7lbs. We know that might be a slight stretch since she would have to gain 13oz from her last appt. She has been spitting up so much that we are afraid she will lose weight again. We might start supplementing a little soy formula at each feeding to make sure she is getting enough to eat. I usually only feed her 1.5oz if I give her a bottle but this morning Kory fed her 3oz. He thought she was still hungry after the first bottle.


This was Harli's first week of errands. Since I still have pregnancy brain, we had to go to Target three times because I kept forgetting things. She also went to Fareway. Apparently, I spent too much time in the freezer section and she let me know. That brought many people over to see who was making that noise. Harli was the talk of Fareway!! On Thursday, we went to lunch with Nana at Palmer's. And, of course, Harli was the talk of Palmer's.


Harli is starting to learn that we (ok, so me) like to sleep at night. She fights all day to stay awake and then goes to bed around 8p and wakes up around 2a to eat. The last two nights she hasn't wanted to go back to bed at 230a. So I haven't been getting much sleep. Now if we can just get her to realize that we need to go back to bed until about 8a or so. I have to remember that she is only three weeks old and isn't going to be sleeping through the night right away.

Two weeks old


Our baby girl is two weeks old already. Harli had her two week check-up today and she now weighs 6lbs 3.5oz and is 19 inches long. The doctor was VERY impressed with her weight gain! This means no more formula supplement...woohoo!!! She didn't have to have any shots today, but will in two weeks at her one month check up. The doctor had only great things to say about Harli. He said that she was perfect. We, of course, already knew that one! Kory and I were so relieved that she had such a jump in weight gain. Harli and I are off to take our second nap of the day. I could really get used to this lifestyle!!
