13 days old

Here is Bella at 13 days old. As of 2 days ago she was 6 lbs 14 oz, she is finally above her birth weight!!! She has been gaining about 1 oz a day. My sister wanted to see how small she is so Sydney's baby doll was the closet's thing to her length. Sydney wanted to be in the pictures as well so this is the girls next to each other. When I was younger I always said that my children would always be perfect. Everyone always laughed at me but I stood by my notions. When I had Sydney I knew that she would be pretty darn close... and she was. When I was pregnant with Bella everyone told me that Bella would not be as easy as Sydney. That no one has 2 easy children in a row. However,  I have managed to accomplish this somehow again. Bella is an amazing child ( and yes, I am quite aware that she is only 13 days old and all this could easily change). Anyways, Bella only wakes up once a night. I feed her around 10 pm, she wakes up around 2-3 am for her feeding. Then the next time she is awake is around 7 am. I love this schedule and hopefully she will stick to this schedule. Here are some pictures of our little girls.

She is always sticking her tongue out... so funny

How exciting!! Sheesh when I saw this I thought "wow has it really been that long already?" The time just goes SO FAST!! Leah was so moody when we brought her home, I thought we were going to have our hands full but then after the first week or two she completely mellowed out!! She is so layed back now it's crazy!!

We are so happy for you guys =)

How adorable, congrats! But officially hate you that she only wakes up once a night (not really, but sort of). I always said my kids would be perfect too but now I have Blake (who still wakes up 1-2 times a night. Can you please tell me your secrets! No, but in all seriousness, they are both adorable.
