Allie's two weeks old :))

Good evening! Sorry it has been so while we made a post to the blog, Allie gal has been keeping the two of us super busy :))

Hard to believe she is two weeks old already- she is just growing so fast :) We went to the doctor today again for her second week appointment, and she is doing great. She is now weighing 7 lbs 11.5 oz- she gained a full pound in the last week- and she is in the 50% percentile for her weight and height.

She is doing this thing now that she gets both of her arms up by her face, and sometimes just the left arm comes up by her face. Both Bryan and I have worked on our swaddling technique, but she still manages to get that arm free and up by her face. Scoreboard: Allie 40 x Mom & Dad 2

We have had a great week so far. On Monday, she was nursing non-stop for a few consecutive hours, but I guess that is normal for this time. I was worried I didn't have enough milk, but I went to a breastfeeding mom's group on Tuesday morning, and they reassured me this was normal. It is great to see her gaining some weight and healthy. This was also a good opportunity for me to meet new moms and connect, so I am going to try to make it to their Tuesday morning meetings.

Here is the outfit that Allie wore to the doctor appointment today :) she was a little crabby ;)

We are looking forward to having Grandma Tina come visit us this Friday. We are also getting super spoiled with the many sports outfits we got from Auntie Tammi, and the blanket from Auntie Linda, so beautifully made for this little girl ;)

On Saturday, we had such a great time with the photographer for her newborn pictures. She did really good, and it was a long photo shoot, close to 3 hours, but she did really good. We're expecting pictures by the end of the week hopefully. Please see below for a little sneaky preview of what's to come :)

I am finally getting into somewhat of a routine, of waking up every two hours, but also doing a better job of taking naps during the day, so hopefully we will be posting more frequently.

Love you all,
Have a great rest of the week,
Thais

PS: we will make sure to post some pictures of Allie in her Easter Dress, with Grandma and Daddy :)
