3 weeks



3 weeks!!?? I'm 3 days late writing this.  I can't decide if the days fly by or feel like a whole month.  Being on a "3-hr schedule" is definitely a new experience in life.

I can't believe though how much happens in a week.  Malin is so much more alert, stays more awake after we eat and is sleeping pretty well.  At her 2 week (well 2w3d) appointment, she was up to 6lbs12oz, 21 1/2".  She's in the 50th percentile for height (I don't think that will last long!) and 10-25th percentile for weight (still a little peanut).  I swear everyday she adds a new roll on her body.

Malin is starting to get into a "babywise" schedule of eating every 2 1/2-3hrs during the day - playing and then napping before the next feeding time.  During the night we are getting to almost 4 hr stretches...great for me and for Malin! We are trying to get her to sleep in the pack-n-play at nap time, but it's also just so tempting to let her snuggle and sleep on your chest. We do our best to stick to a routine, but also cherish all those snuggles!

Malin, please please please stop growing up so quickly!!!!!
