Zech & Piper
Miss P's umbilical cord stump finally came off today - long time, but it looks good. Isaac called it her "belly cork" :D

Piper had her 2 week baby check today - everything looks good and normal, and she weighs 9lbs 4oz now!

I can hardly believe our Sweet P is 2 weeks old all ready. It seems like it can't possibly be 2 weeks all ready... and at the same time seems like it can't only be 2 weeks that she's been with us!
She's such a sweet baby - still sleeps a lot through the day, but when she's awake she's wide-eyed and looking around, taking everything in. She's an absolute dream through the nights - she only wakes up once, usually around 5am, to nurse, then back to sleep until 7 or so. Definitely what I needed this time!

Josh tells me I'm lucky - I think he's right ❤ bedtime snuggles for babies
The public health nurse visited today and we weighed Piper. At 9.5 days old she's up to 8lbs 8.5 oz. Her birthweight was 8lbs 3oz, and at a day old she had only dropped to 7lbs 14oz, so she's gained 10.5oz in 9 days!
