Happy 2 week birthday Blakely (Mommy's 1st post)

Who would have thought it would have taken me two weeks to find the time and energy to write a post. It is amazing how quickly the hours and days fly by with a baby at home. We have all  had a busy week with visitors and few trips out.

I'd love to say that we are getting into a routine, but that wouldn't really be true. We keep trying, but Blakely is definitely running the show around here, and until she figures out the difference between day and night we are just happily going with her flow. Even though she doesn't sleep much at night she is wonderful during the day and we couldn't ask for a better baby. 

This past Wednesday we went for our third doctors visit. Blakely has been eating like a champ and was up to 6 lbs 5 ozs. I'm sure by now she is back to her birth weight. Dr Harris said that we don't really need to keep waking her during the night to eat if she isn't getting up. I was thrilled that she could go 4-5 hours without eating, and I could potentially sleep for that long. I don't think Blakely heard that conversation, as we haven't even come close to 4 hour mark yet. The weather in Rochester has been beautiful and Blakely has loved going for her first few walks around the neighborhood. 

She really enjoys the fresh air and sunshine, so hopefully we have a nice spring and summer. Unfortunately, Kevin has a bit of a cold and is trying his best to keep his germs away from Blakely. He slept at Steve and Jenna's last night and seems to be feeling better this morning. I think now that we have hit the two week mark, we might try giving Blakely her first real bath today. I've been saying that for that last few days and haven't actually built up the courage to do it yet, but I think today might be the day. Hopefully she likes it even slightly more than having her diaper changed, which she hates. I think we should be fine as long as we remember the warning from the hospital discharge paper..."Babies are slippery when wet." Stay tuned for pictures!
