2 Weeks!

I can't believe that we've managed to survive for a whole two weeks... It's been a time of tears, laughter, scary moments, sleepless nights, but above all things, it's been a time of love, learning and discoveries!
Eva is a little gem. She does what a baby is suppose to do: countless number ones and number twos, cries, sleeps... She is a lovely little one...
She did put on the weight she'd lost in the first 10 days of her life, which had worried us a lot since it was more than the 10% specialist talk about...She was weighed for the first time on thursday 22 October and by Sunday 25 October, she nearly reached the weight she was at birth... Althought my milk suppky does not match her demand (I'm not producing enough milk)I'm still persevering and she's getting boob every 2 1/2 hours during the day and ocassionally is topped up with up to 4 ounces of formula... At night, she manages 4 hours sleep at a time. She is a happy little one and my wee eating machine :)



She is also a very strong baby! I've discovered she "crawls" to the side of her crib and a couple of nights ago, i got the fright of my life when I suddenly woke up in a panic and I found her tiny face was pressed against the bars of the crib! Is amazing how she can bend her knees and roll her legs to one side... The arm and shoulder follow and voilá! She is on her side... Something to watch out for and to keep an extra eye on her..!



It must be the fact hat she is our daughter why I think she is the cleverest little person in the whole world... She already found her fingers to suck when she wants to fall asleep while comfort sucking! Ocassionally I have to use the old trusty dummy so she can get the comfort, otherwise I can spend up to 3 hours with her stuck on my breast just for the extra heat :) (which I don't mind during the day, but it gets too tiring at night, wouldn't you agree?)



Anyway... Today is two weeks since Eva joined our world... It's been a rollercoaster of emotions and changes, but I wouldn't change it for anything! I have to be extra thankful to Frazer for being the best and more supportive husband in the universe... I LOVE YOU, BABY!!!!
And we love you all for caring about us :)
See you soon!
Love
Eva, a very special Daddy, a Mum that loves Daddy, baby and the doggies like nobody else, and the 2 dogs that are still wondering what's the little thing that cries!
