Two Weeks of Maxine

At two weeks, we spend our time trying to keep Maxine's tummy feeling well, nursing, patting her bottom (I need to invent some kind of baby butt patting device...), nursing, changing diapers in twos and threes (because she loves to poo in clean diapers!), nursing, and staring at her.   

Cole is an outstanding big brother.  He has moments when he wants time or attention that she requires.  He has not expressed any anger toward her though.  He is an awesome helper and keeps me laughing with his spunky personality!

Today was Maxine's two week check up (actually two week, two day).  She got a good report.  We have been dealing with the dreaded colic/acid reflux.  Poor little Maxine has rough evenings with what appears to be belly pains.  However, she is growing and doing great.  She was born 8lb 6oz, left the hospital 48 hours later at 7lb 10oz, was 7lb 13oz two days later at her first doctor visit, and weighed in today at 9lb 3oz!  All of the nursing is doing her well!

Keep growing girl!  But...let us enjoy every moment of your progress!
