Two Weeks' Notice

Hey there! Lily had her two week check-up today and (of course) received fabulous reviews! She is in the 25 percentile for weight at 7 pounds 13 ounces, and close to the 75 percentile for height measuring up at 21 inches. Everything from eyes and ears to lungs and heart look great, buying mommy at least two days of sound sleep - whenever we do sleep, that is!

In other news, we think we may have had our first glimpse at colic last night. Our usually content and pleasant baby girl decided to flex her muscles a bit. From about 8pm to 1am mommy and daddy took shifts rocking, swinging, swaying, cooing, singing, dancing, patting, rubbing, changing, kissing and hugging an otherwise hysterical Lily. Whether this is truly the beginning of colic or that glorious cup of coffee mommy had yesterday (from which a mighty dose of much-needed caffeine might have made its way into the breast milk), we are going to try to keep up a sense of humor about all of this. Really, in her mind it was all very dramatic. She turned bright red and everything. A little soap opera star in the making, perhaps?

As a final note, mommy is back in her regular jeans. This may seem trivial, but in my mind it is totally and completely post-worthy after ten months of elastic waist bands. I actually took a bow this morning when I showed daddy the achievement. Thank you, thank you.
