Today Avery is 2 weeks old which coincidentally is also her due date. It's crazy to think that she wasn't even supposed to be here yet. Week 2 has definitely been much more low key than Avery's first week. Daddy went back to work on Monday so Nana was here to save the day! She stayed with us until Wednesday and was such a help with Kensley...feeding her, keeping her entertained, etc. I was on my own Thursday and Friday with both girls and it went surprisingly well. We even made it out of the house both days (with me showered and wearing make-up!).
This week we also went for Avery's 2 week weight check at the doctor's office. This was new for us since Kensley never had to go. Avery is gaining weight quickly and was already up to 7 lbs 4 oz! She still looks so tiny and isn't quite filling out her newborn clothes yet, but we know she's growing quickly.
Avery has been such a sweet, little baby and has been very flexible. She still only fusses and cries (sometimes quite loudly) when she is hungry, cold or gets disturbed. She's been sleeping pretty well at night. Last night she gave me a 6.5 hour stretch between feedings and Friday night was 5.5 hours! I'm hoping this starts a trend as I could get used to only 1 feeding per night.
Kensley continues to be obsessed with her little sister. She's always worried about where she is and wants to kiss her and hold her. Kens often says "Avery coming" whenever we go anywhere (upstairs, outside, etc.). She also exclaims "kisses" multiple times throughout the day whenever she wants us to lower Avery to her level so she can kiss her head or mouth. She likes to hold her first thing in the morning while she watches an episode of "Bickey".
