Baby, I love you

Here's a little baby update for you! I can always thank my girl Hayley for motivating me! :-)

Alyssa is doing very well. She's just over two weeks old, and she is more precious than you can imagine. There's only one problem (and it's common to every parent):

We can't sleep.

This little booger has some lungs on her! Amy is trying to keep her calm at night, but some nights she's wired. Unfortunately, Amy's catching the worst end of it because she's not using formula.

However, our wee one is healthy as can be. She dropped down to 6 lbs, 5 oz. from her original birth weight of 7 lbs, 1 oz. But thanks to a ferocious feeding schedule, she's up to 7 lbs, 5 oz.

That piece of good news brought even better news today. The doctor told us we can now wait 4-6 hours between night feedings. We were getting her up every 2.5 hours to help get her weight up.

Outside of no sleep, we're doing well. Alyssa is a happy girl. She'll lay her head on our shoulders and try to lift up. She'll have the widest eyes and open mouth. She's beyond cute! She's downright gorgeous (and yes, I'm biased)!

I think that'll do it for the quick update. I'll have more later. Look for some new pictures soon!
