Both Alayna and I reached a milestone this morning...I took BOTH kids to the doctor for Alayna's two week well-baby check up....yes, both kids. This was the first time that I had taken both kids someplace by myself. It wasn't my original plan, but I needed to feed baby girl before we headed out the door to the doctor, and I didn't have enough time to take Josiah to school beforehand....so we all went together. Josiah, for the most part, did really well, so I didn't find myself running all over the doctor's office threatening him with spankings. :-)
Alayna is an eating machine and her weight is very reflective of that fact. When weighed this morning, she tipped the scale at 9 lbs. 8 oz. This means that in the last 11 days, she gained 12 oz. WOW! I shouldn't be too surprised since she would prefer to be connected to me ALL DAY, but I'm still shocked at how much she gained and how fast. When I mentioned that Alayna is also sleeping fairly well, the doctor said that usually around the 10 lb mark, babies will tend to sleep in a 5 hour stretch. I'm totally looking forward to that point....and at this rate, that could be next week. Woo Hoo! Josiah didn't reach 6 hours until he was 6 weeks old.
I'll post more pictures later, I'm having a hard time uploading with Blogger this morning.

Congratulations! I know I'm a little late, but I've been a little preoccupied myself. Being a new mother isn't easy, but I'm taking it day by day.
