2 Weeks and Growing!

Today Marleigh is officially 2 weeks old! I can't believe it has been 2 weeks! It feels like she just rocked our world yesterday! :) This afternoon I took her in for her 2 week check up. Everything looks great! She lost her umbilical cord on Saturday, so we are ready for tub baths vs. sponge baths! She LOVES to have her head run through the water at night when we wash and scrub her doo, so I am quite hopeful that she will enjoy bath time as much as her big brother!

Marleigh's weight is still going up praise the Lord! I was a little worried with all that she spit up last night! She went so long without spitting up, and now if she would just burp we would continue to have smooth sailing!!! She had dropped to her lowest 8 lbs. 11.8 ounces last Wednesday, but had increased to 8 lbs. 15 ounces on Friday. Today she weighed in at 9 lbs. 6 ounces -- even though the nurse recorded 9 lbs. 5 ounces! :) They still want to see her hit her birth weight again, so we are going back 2 weeks from today for a weight recheck!

We will also have a 6 week appointment for Marleigh to have an ultrasound on her hips -- I was unaware - but breech females have a higher chance for having hip displatia (sp?). Anyway, it is a routine check for breech babies at our Pediatrician's office. So far, like 6 out of 10 doctors at our practice have had the chance to check her out, and they all said they see/feel no signs of it with her hips, but it is still standard routine. We feel good since everyone has said that it looks fine. I believe they said it is 1 in 250 of breech female babies. So keep this in your prayers until we know for sure! :)
