this shot didn't work out but i had to post how cute she looks even when she is sad...

can't begin to explain how precious this little girl is. 

i find myself describing her as precious most often.

she just is. her soft skin & quaint breaths.

i love holding her close and humming on her cheeks.

she gets lots of kisses from us all. 

i adore her. can you tell?

her two week appointment was yesterday.

steele was very concerned when she got her heal pricked. 

she is still very tiny. well tiny to me. a good size though. 

perry is very different from steele in the size department.

at his two week he had gained over a pound. 

when we left the hospital little perry had dropped to 6 lbs 15 oz.

she is now 7 lbs & is almost back to her birth weight of 7 lbs 3 oz. 

she doesn't eat the way steele did. but she also doesn't spit

up the way he did. this is a nice change! 

i don't have to have a burp clothe under her chin every feeding. 

as for her length....i knew they measured her wrong in the hospital. 

i've said that from the beginning because she is 

very long and skinny. long arms, long feet and very long legs. 

at her appointment she measured 21 inches! 

i'm pretty sure she didn't grow 2 inches in 2 weeks. 

the dr said it's common for infants to be incorrectly measured at birth

because they don't like to be stretched out after being in the womb. 

so there you have it. at two weeks the little bean is; 

7 lbs {30%}

21 inches {80%}

i have a load of pictures of steele and his sister. 

that will be my next post... along with the past two weeks at home. 

i'm feeling almost 100% now and healing very well.

we are all doing good and loving life.
