Melanie's 3 Week Update

Melanie went to the doctor this morning and was I in for a surprise. She weighed in at 9 pounds 8 ounces. That's a 2 pound gain in 3 weeks!! Allie didn't weigh that much until she was 3 months old! Brett pointed out there are women who push babies out that size. That made me thankful Melanie was born when she was still little. The differences between Allie and Melanie are becoming apparent. Melanie eats (obviously) and sleeps more than Allie did at this stage. Allie had better neck movement and control and was very curious about the world around her. Melanie could not care less. She's more worried about eating, sleeping, and making sure her diaper is clean. Allie continues to dote on her baby sister. It's very sweet to hear Allie call Melanie "sweetie" and "punkin". We are adjusting to the sleep deprivation and diaper changes. We forgot how many diapers babies go through in a day!
