Our tiny little peanut

Had to show everyone my funny shirt. This lets the world know that I recently had a baby and I'm not just chubby!

On Saturday at 2:30, Isabelle will be 2 weeks old. Sunday is actually Isabelle's original due date! What a two weeks it has been. Isabelle's Mamaw and Papaw were here her first week. My mom gets to stay a while, but dad had to go back to work. He and Isabelle really bonded while he was here and I know he misses her. Jeremy's mom is still here as well, so we're lucky to have so much help around. We took Isabelle to the doctor for her 2 week checkup and the doctor said she looks great. She's now tipping the scales at 6 lbs 10 oz! She is past her birth weight of 6 lbs. 4 oz. so the doctor said she's right on track. She's now 20 inches long as well, and she was 18 inches at birth. With breastfeeding, I'm always worried she's not getting enough to eat since I can't see exactly how much she's taking in. So, the doctor reassured me that since she's gaining weight, and she has a good amount of wet and dirty diapers that she's getting what she needs. We fall more and more in love with our daughter every day. I see a lot of Jeremy in her right now, but it's hard to tell, we may start to see some of my features in her as she gets older. Since having two weeks under our belts, we're really starting to settle in with our new baby and developing as much as a routine as possible with a newborn. We're really learning Isabelle and when she's fussing because something's wrong and when she's fussing just to fuss! Everyday has been a new adventure for us, and we're loving every second of it. All memories of no sleep and long nights of inconsolable crying and trying to feed quickly fade away the moment we look at her sweet face. It's so crazy to realize how innocent and helpless she is and how much she relies on us to take care of her. It's such a huge responsibility that we don't take lightly and pray daily for the Lord to guide us and direct us in our parenting. I'm so thankful for our baby and for our family. Jeremy has been so wonderful and I'm thankful for the wonderful husband he is and father he has become. He handles Isabelle with such love and care and is so dedicated to me and our baby. He does everything from changing diapers to getting up with me in the middle of the night for feedings...not to mention the official burper! Thanks to everyone whose praying for us as we're journeying these first few weeks with our new baby, we really appreciate it!
