Jayden's 2 Week Check-up

Jayden had her two week check-up yesterday (actually 16 days old, though). She weighed in at 9 pounds 4 ounces, which means she gained an entire pound in just ten days! She is now 21 inches long and her head is 14 3/4 inches around. Jaycee's head was that size at her two month check-up. Jayden eats about every two hours (to the minute usually) and we have officially made the move from breast milk to formula. As much as I wanted to breast feed and pump while at work, it just isn't going to work out with my schedule. At the rate Jayden was eating, my breast milk was coming in by the gallon and the leaking is not going to work being in front of 3rd graders all day. I really don't want to have to change my shirt four times per work day because of leakage. Jayden is more than happy with her formula and now Dada can bond and feed her too. Jaycee has been a wonderful big sister. She helps grab diapers, announces Jayden's "poop", and has been a lot more interested in touching her little sister. Jayden really enjoys watching Jaycee and is great at ignoring her loud screaming and playing. They are already such a cute pair!
