It's Natalie's actual due date and she is 18 days old. She was weighed at the 2 week mark (the time they say they should have gained back their birth weight) and she weighed 8oz over her birth weight! I think by now she is very close to 7lbs. She definitely feels heavier although that is still lighter than either of the big kids when they were born. Those first few days she was so light, it was like carrying a kitten.
Sleep-wise, I am looking forward to improvement, although I know it could be worse. She is happy to sleep 3 hour stretches in the daytime, but at night likes to cap it at 2. Fortunately, she has been relatively easy to get back to bed.
Natalie made Annalise grow overnight. I swear she was bigger on the Thursday she visited me in the hospital than the Wednesday when I kissed her and Caleb before Rob and I left. I'm not allowed to pick her up for 4 more weeks, but I can tell she is taller and heavier.
Caleb has handled adding Natalie to our family much better than he handled Annalise. He cannot stop telling us how cute she is and loves to hold her. He actually holds her pretty well and I can tell Natalie doesn't mind him holding her.
