3 Weeks

Romey is three weeks old today. Hard to believe, and yet totally believable—does that make sense? So, what have we learned about Romey? Here’s a couple tidbits:

*Romey’s thriving. The doctor prefers to have newborns back to their birth weight by two weeks of life. By day 10 Romey was 8 pounds, 8 ounces—4 ounces more than her birth weight!

*Like Avery, Romey’s expressive. Intentional or not, it is terribly cute.

*Romey’s fairly content and likes to cuddle. She’ll cry if she’s got an issue, but otherwise enjoys looking around.

Avery is seemingly enjoying her new role as Romey’s big sister. On the flip side, Avery has been acting out more, which Dan and I find very, very trying.

In other news, my sister Lea got married on December 22 (which deserves it’s own blog entry—coming soon), and we celebrated a quiet Christmas with our two girls.

How’s our “new normal?” It’s feeling more normal, but I don’t think I’m to the point yet where I’d recommend it ;) Seriously, zone defense isn’t for the faint of heart. Kudos to all of those who have come before me and have made zone defense look easy!
