Karys was 2 weeks old yesterday! She's had a lot of changes this past week too. She has started to hold her head up more and she no longer curls up her body like she did when we brought her home - she loves to stretch out now. She seems to change or do something new each day - it's really amazing to watch! We are having so much fun with her! My mom also took off Mon - Wed this week to come help out and that was such a blessing! It was really great to spend the whole day with her and I'm so grateful for her help! She let me sleep in each day and I finally feel more rested than I have in a long time. And I know Karys loved being held all day long by her Nana!! She is already being so spoiled :)

Today Tim and I took Karys for her 2nd week checkup. She now weighs in at 8 lbs 8 oz!! The doctor was very impressed with her weight gain and how well she eats. She told us we were lucky to have a child that is already sleeping so much through the night like we do too - she said that doesn't happen too often and that we have it easier than a lot of other parents do. We're so proud :) Karys is eating 4 oz every 4 hours and only wakes up twice during the night - allowing Tim and I each to get between 6-7 hours of sleep when we take turns feeding her. So far so good!!

Karys also is measuring at 21 nches now. The doctor's office said most likely she was measured wrong at birth (they told us she was 19 inches). A typical growth can be about 1 inch but not 2 inches. So she seems to be growing and gaining weight at a great rate!

And the best news is that her collar bone is all healed!!! We no longer have to keep it pinned up anymore. That was really good to hear. And now she has two hands to play with :)

We see the doctor again in 2 weeks for her 1 month checkup.

We hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Love,
Tim, Steph & Karys :)
