2 Weeks

Harper is two weeks old and it seems just yesterday we were in the OR awaiting her arrival. Parenthood has been so wonderful -- even with the 20 changings a day, sleepless nights and constant feedings, I wouldn't trade it for the world! Grant and I couldn't imagine life without her. The dogs are finally adjusting to her being our number one priority and most of all I'm not feeling bad about them "moping" around the house. Despite Grant not being around children like I have, he is an awesome father. He breezes through diaper changes, baths, cooks, cleans -- you name it. I am so very lucky!

Yesterday Harper had her two week checkup with Dr. Lange. She was 21 inches long, had a noggin measurement of 14.25" and weighed 9 lbs 2 oz -- a 25 oz gain in 9 days - Wow!! Harper is in the 75th percentile for her height, weight and head circumference. Dr. Lange was very impressed with her gain since she had lost almost a pound in the hospital. She also had her second PKU test - tear - but it actually wasn't that bad. I don't like hearing her cry from being poked by the doctors!

Today Houston had some out of the ordinary weather -- SNOW! It was weird to see it consistently falling rather than a snowflake here and there. Only in Houston will we have snow on Friday and a predicted high of 70 degrees for Monday. It' no wonder were not sick all of the time!
