Today, Summer is 2 weeks old. Today was the day she was supposed to be induced to come into the world. What a whirlwind! She arrived 2 weeks early... 3 if you keep in mind that she was supposed to be induced a week earlier than her due date.
She has gained weight and length. Her limbs have started filling out and her face.
We are starting to gain a bit of a routine in that Mark takes overnight duty while Scarlet tries to sleep. At dawn, the roles shift and Scarlet takes over while Mark grabs 4-5 hours of solid sleep. Scarlet is not yet getting solid sleep because she s still healing from the c-section.
Mark has managed to get a bit of time to play some videogames now to relax. Scarlet has managed to do some writing and watch some anime, as well as some advertising for the workshops she has now arranged other teachers to teach.
QPIP has kicked in for Mark. And we have had wonderful and generous friends and family who have helped us with diapers and ready-made food. Both have been a life saver.
The cats seems to have adapted well to Summer. Bagheera still ignores her and just wants to cuddle. Nala is a bit miffed and gets really clingy with Mark when he is finally free of baby. Tsuki has taken best to Summer, watching over her and meowing to get our attention when she is about to cry and we are just out of sight (for just a moment). He isn't really a guard cat, but he no longer hides when strangers visit. He just lingers close to the baby. It is really cute.
Summer has tripled her intake of formula from 20ml to 60ml each feeding. However, she still has the tiniest butt in the world!
She has a small birthmark under her right shoulder that may or may not fade over time.
Monday August 24th at noon will be Summer's first doctor appointment with a pediatrician. More news to come on that.
