2 weeks today!

I suppose a little update on our newest addition to the family is in order.  Siri is doing awesome!  She just had a 2 week check-up and all is well!  She is now weighing in at 7 lbs 11 oz!! Here are her weights from birth:

Birth 9/22/09: 7 lbs

9/23/09: 6 lbs 14 oz

9/24/09: 6 lbs 9 oz

9/25/09: 6 lbs 6 oz

9/26/09: 6lbs 9 oz

Two days post hospital discharge 9/28/09: 6 lbs 13 oz

Two week check-up 10/6/09: 7 lbs 11 oz

YAY Siri!  

So anyway, Siri is doing wonderfully!  She is nursing well and sleeping well!  She usually has a 5 hour stretch at night of sleep before waking quietly to eat.  I usually awake to her stirring and rooting.  It's pretty cute!  She is looking bigger everyday!  

Ellie LOVES her so much!  When she sees her she gets very cute and cuddly and says, "baby siri" over and over.  She loves giving her lots of kisses and hugs.  Ellie does, however have moments of defiance towards me.  She is all in all a good girl, but has acted out a few times to get our attention.  I'm just glad she's not taking it out on Siri!  We've also had lots of visitors which can get Ellie a little over excited at times. 

Joey's been quite busy with school and volleyball coaching.  He took off a total of 6 school days which was about 1 1/2wks and had a lot of catch up to do as a result.  Thankfully, we've had lots of help here at home.  My parents were here the week Siri was born and took total care of Ellie while I was in the hospital and Joey stayed overnight with me.  Then they left and Steve and Merrilee came to visit.  Steve spent about 2 days here and Merrilee stayed a full week!  And now my mom is here with me for this week!  We've had lots of help which has made this transition very smooth and easy.  We ALSO received meals for 6 nights last week from friends from church!  I can't tell you how awesome that was!  So thank-you to everyone who has helped us with our new little one, we couldn't have done it without you!
