Well, I guess you can say we've been a little busy! Maddy is such a good baby (knock on wood), but I still haven't been able to get here to update until now.
Maddy is now 2 1/12 weeks old, and growing like a weed. She feeds every 1 to 3 hours, sometimes going 4 hours when in a deep sleep. She is nocturnal, wanting to eat at least every hour in the middle of the night. Mommy is going to start pumping as soon as some replacement parts come for our electric pump, and then Daddy will be able to help out with some of the feedings.
We get our best sleep of a few hours straight somewhere in between the hours of 6am to 2pm, and 6 pm to 10 pm. These are not the best napping hours for Mommy, but I will take it whenever I can get it.
We started taking her out and about in the last week, she has been to Babies r Us, Target, the grocery store and hazel's 1st birthday party.
On June 5th, we took Maddy to her first pediatrician appointment, her doctor is very nice and and said she is measuring above average for height and length. She weighed 8 1/2 pounds and measure 21 1/4 inches, gaining 1/2 pound since birth, and measuring 1/4 inch longer (although, I'm sure this is due to different people taking the measurements). Her doctor gave us the ok to use a pacifier and introduce a bottle to her since she is feeding so well. Her next appointment is in July, when she is 2 months old, and she will get her first round of immunizations.
