Last week we took Devry to the doc for her two week appointment and the doctor said she looks great! she weighs 6lbs 2oz. so she is gaining weight. I had a couple of concerns she started getting super fussy & colic symptoms, acid reflux. Doc has me on a strict diet while breastfeeding to see if she is fussy from dairy products that is passed into the breast milk. No Dairy for me for a while and see if this shakes out. She wakes every 2 1/2 - 3 hours to feed, i don't blame her I'm sure she is starving being to so little. She sleeps in her bouncer chair at night and through the day due to acid reflux. We had a difficult week but I think things are starting to get into a routine and she seems like a happier baby.
Davis loves his little sister, he loves to get her a bow for her hair everyday and always ask where's baby? if she's in the other room or asleep. He isn't as afraid of her and will hold her for 2 min. or until he is done. He will try to hold her hand and give her kisses on her head.
People have been asking if she looks like Davis, I found this picture of Davis when he was two weeks old. I think they kind of look alike. Davis got most of the hair though.
got a pic of her in her xmas eve dress ready to cry.

Poor baby has been in nicu since she was born. Since her birth weight was so low they ran checks for low blood sugar, a health baby is above 50 and hers was in the 30's so they took her to nicu to run iv and watch her blood sugars. Then she was having hard time keeping her body temp. up since she was so tiny and needed fat on her body. She wasn't eating very good from bottle so then they ran feeding tube. Doc said she is acting like 37 week old baby instead of a 39 week old and that she has low birth weight due to placenta deficiency. She is now breastfeeding and taking bottle at hospital and is more alert. She might be home for thanksgiving. This whole experience has been an eye opener and really makes me thankful that she is okay and health and there isn't any other problem. Her doc said it was good we got her out when we did or there could have been major problems. I will post some pictures of her when she gets home.
