Little miss Madelyn is now a whole two weeks old, I can't believe it was already two weeks since I had her! We are all doing well, we are slowly adjusting to our new lives. It took a couple of weeks but I can now finally say, "I got this!"
Madelyn had her two week check up on Monday. The big girl already weighs 7 pounds and 4 ounces, over a whole pound more than she was when she was born. It seems like the little porker is attached to the boob 24/7. She also grew a quarter of an inch in the last two weeks. The doctor said she looks to be in great health. I thought for sure she had some colic or reflux going on because she has had such rotten belly aches but the doctor assured me that she is fine and her screaming is normal. If this is normal I would probably kill myself if I had a baby with colic lol! I don't think I could do it. Madelyn's belly seems to be getting better, we've had fewer screaming fits, and now I got the ok to give her gripe water when she does seem to be in pain. Gripe water = little mini baby cocktail. The stuff is amazing but it makes her look like she's been boozing for days.
I'm finally feeling like I can handle my life again. It only took about two weeks, lol. I didn't realize it then but I had a serious case of the baby blues. I obviously had this overwhelming love for this beautiful baby but I also had this overwhelming feeling of "what did we do? We were not ready for this!" thankfully it was only two weeks that this lasted. I am now falling more and more in love with this baby as the days go on. You know you're at a low when you think the girls on Teen Mom handle their lives better than you, lol!
That's all for now. Baby is continuing to grow and looks more and more like her daddy every day. He doesn't see it but I do :) She definitely has his eyes, they just have to turn green to be just like his.
Later gators.
