Well this past week has been a roller coaster for us. Little Eliza caught her big sister's cold and has had to be on oxygen all week. Her poor little nose has been so congested and its made it hard for her to eat and sleep. I hate to see little ones sick, and a baby that is barely 2 weeks old is even harder. I'm very grateful that is hasn't been something worse or that she hasn't had to be in the hospital, but it is still hard to watch as a mom. I won't lie, it has also been an emotional roller coaster for me, but Brian has been a great support and help. I'm also very grateful that we have family close that has been there to help and more so entertain Fin. I know that we have been blessed with two beautiful and fun daughters and I look forward to them being close sister's and friends. This week has made me put on the brakes to most of everything except the attention and love for my girls. Being a mom is so demanding and wonderful but sometimes we forget to just be in the moment for they go by so quickly.
Eliza also had her two week check up and despite the cold is looking good. She's 7 lbs 8 oz and 19 1/2 inches. She's in the 55% for weight and 50% for height. She's becoming more alert and staying awake for longer periods of time which makes it fun to interact with her. She's sleeping four hours at a time and is already a better eater then her sister. We went to the doctor today and she's looking better, hopefully we will be done with the oxygen by Monday and until then she only needs it while sleeping and eating.
Fin already looking out for her baby sister.
