Two weeks

We have made it to the two week mark. I have to be honest, I was pretty nervous to even get to this stage after my pregnancy. Two weeks after Rylee was born, was kind of traumatic for me. She lost two pounds and two pounds on a 7 pound baby is quite significant. I remember like it was yesterday, sitting in the doctor's office being consoled by the pediatrician. I was bawling. I had starved my child. I felt broken and like I had failed as a mom. Looking back, I understand that there were quite a few factors that played into her losing weight, but none the less, she was hungry. So today, my only wish was that Hayden was back to her birth weight. And she was! She was actually an ounce heavier. I couldn't have been more elated! He said she was perfect. That's all a mom could hope for is that her child is healthy and thriving. Today was a much happier, much better doctors appointment.

Her stats: Height: 19.5 inches 20%
                Weight: 7 lbs 4 oz 20%
                 Head circumference: 36.7 cm 68%

We also had her pictures done today by my friend from our ward. Hopefully I'll get those back soon.
