Campbell - 2 Weeks Old

We ventured off to the doctor's this morning for Campbell's two week appointment, it is still so hard for me to believe that she is 2 weeks old...CRAZY!!!! She is a little piggy...she weighs in at 9 lbs 7 oz. Dr. S said that at this point they just want to make sure that babies are back up to their birth weights & well Campbell has passed her birth weight and is moving on. She is in the 90th percentile for her weight and in the 50th percentile in her length & head circumference.

I hope that soon we will start to get a little bit more of a routine or at least figure out what is day and what is night....getting up in the middle of the night to feed her is really tough. I do love being able to look at her while she eats and the house is silent, it almost feels like it is just us in the house, even though Brian is laying right next to us. These special moments are the ones I want to remember forever, when she is eating and grabs my finger with her tiny hand and looks up at me, my heart just melts over and over again.

We don't have much planned for the weekend, except heading to my parents for an outing on Sunday. We were supposed to have a neighborhood baby shower on Sunday for two girls in the neighborhood that are due in December, but everyone seems to be sick or have little ones that are sick, so we cancelled the shower & will try and get together after the new year. Brian is heading off to the VCU v. Oklahoma game on Saturday night with Brad, so that should be fun. I think Campbell and I will stay home and maybe watch a movie or catch up on all the shows on the DVR...it is getting ready to burst!

Next week will be the first week it will just be me and Campbell all week long. It has been so nice to have Brian here for 3 days each week, just nice to have someone to talk with or watch Campbell while I run upstairs to switch the laundry or just to take a break for 5 minutes. I know we will be fine, but it will take some time to get used to being the only one here all day long.

We have loved the weather this week, except for the rain, b/c it gives us the chance to get out and take a walk. It is hard not being able to really go anywhere with her, I am just afraid of her getting sick and with everyone I know being sick I feel better just sticking close to home. I could totally use a trip to Target or any store for that matter, so I might leave Campbell at home with Brian for a while on Saturday and just go and walk around Target or Barnes and Noble.

We have been so blessed my our friends and family over the past weeks with all the meals and well wishes, so we just want to say thank you to everyone who has been thinking about us. Campbell is so lucky to have all of you in her life.

I promised to upload some new pictures this weekend, like I said it is hard when I am the only one here to run upstairs to load pictures when she is downstairs sleeping, but I will get her new pictures upload this weekend. That is something else we need to do this weekend, take her photos her birth announcements/Christmas cards. I still can't believe that Thanksgiving is next week...I am so excited about eating all that yummy food!!!!
