2 Weeks

Alisha says: 2 weeks, 2 weeks!! Where has the time gone. I can't believe that Jade is already 2 weeks old. We have been doing okay, things are a bit more crazy around our house as we figure out our new normal. Skye has had a bit of a hard time adjusting and is also a typical 2 year old so that has been hard. Skye is only semi interested in the baby and has only held Jade a couple of times. Skye wants to be a baby again and has tried out the baby's bassinet, pacifier and bottle. Dave has been great to try and give Skye some one on one attention by taking her biking and to the park. Jade had her two week pediatrician appointment and is healthy and gaining weight. She has been a good nurser and we haven't had to supplement her with any formula yet. She is sleeping okay, she will usually sleep about 4 hours when we first go to bed but then it seems like she wants to eat almost every hour after that. As long as she gets to nurse she is fine. She seems to like her mother the most so far and tends to only tolerate her dad in small doses before she gets a fussy. I affectionately call her my little piranha for reasons I'll leave unnamed and Dave affectionately calls her "rooter baby" because she always is rooting around wanting to eat. I have loved snuggling her the past two weeks, I love the newborn stage and they grow out of it too fast. Just this morning Dave said that she was looking a little bigger.

Jade's pointer and middle finger on her left hand are much larger than the rest of her fingers, including the same fingers on her right hand. They also are double jointed and curve at the end.
