KAYLA IS 3 WEEKS OLD !
2 days ago Kayla turned 3 weeks old, and what a difference 1 week makes!!
2 days ago was her 2nd well baby check up and everything went well. The doctor again says shes totally healthy and perfect. He said we were both so lucky.
She has gained 12 oz making her 9 lbs and has gained half an inch in length making her 21 inches long now. Those 12 ounces must have went to her legs. Shes going to be such a tall girl! She is in about the 65th percentile for her weight, height and head circumference.
She has grown out of a few of her newborn size pajamas. Her little legs are too long! Her newborn socks no longer fit her either.
Everytime she wakes up from a nap, or in the morning I swear she got prettier. I would love to know what she is dreaming to be making her so pretty!
She is eating full 3 oz bottles, and sometimes more.
She has learned to fight her sleep unless she is being held. So last night was the first night I put her to bed and just let her cry herself to sleep. I felt so bad. It was so hard to let her cry. I called Nick and he said to let her be. My sister, Malissa said the same. So I did. 45 minutes later she was sleeping. And she slept in her bed all night except for when she was eating.
She can now roll over with much more ease and much faster.
She has so much control of her head now too. Still wobbly but she is doing great.
3 nights ago she has really discovered the tv and she loves to look at it.
3 days ago we went to the mall and got her pictures taken at The Picture People. I have never seen a more beautiful baby. I will post the pics as soon as I get them.
Mommy and Daddy are so lucky.
Birth Mom is doing well. She was having a hard time but is much better. She actually called me today to see how we are doing and she sounded very well and happy. I been worried sick about her and am so glad she is finally adjusting well! She plans to start college next month and get her GED within 6 months of starting college classes. I hope she sticks to it!
Also, a shout out to all those who have sent care packages to us for Kayla. We appreciate it so much that words cant describe. To know that so many people support us in what we are doing makes this journey so much sweeter.

She is changing so much, and getting so much bigger. You are right, she is a beautiful baby! I am glad you all are doing well and that birthmom is doing well also. I have been thinking of her and praying for her as I pray for the three of you.
ReplyDeleteHow much longer before you get to go home with her?
