Lots of Sleeping ... and Growing

In Brynne's first two weeks home, there's been lots of sleeping (not necessarily by mom & dad), eating and in the last few days crying. But with all of the great and challenging transitions we've all made in that time, it looks like we're doing a good job raising our girl thus far.

Brynne had her first doctor's appointment on Tuesday and got an outstanding report. We haven't hit the six-pound mark just yet, but gained four ounces since leaving the hospital and surpasssed her birth weight checking in a 5-13. She's in the 4th percentile for her weight, but doubt she'll be there for long. She's been eating a lot, and the doc encouraged us to not really set any limit per se as to how much she eats - just keep adding a little bit and see how much she eats.

Flailing her arms and legs is also one of her favorite things to do - that and listen to music. The arm flailing makes feeding her slightly difficult, especially in the middle of the night!

She loves lseeping with her arms up, and sometimes opens one eye to check up on us
