Rebecca's 2nd week

It's hard to believe Rebecca's already 2 weeks old. She has been a great baby so far and until last night was giving me at least one 5 hr. stretch at night. Last night she wanted to see her mommy every 2 hours!
She had her 2 week appointment on Tuesday and is growing well. She weighs 8.10 & her length is 21. I find the length to be funny since the hospital said she was 22 in. at birth! At her appointment the dr. noticed blue around her upper and lower lips. We left the appointment thinking everything was fine but later Tuesday received a call from our doctor that she would like Rebecca to see a cardiologist at CHKD which is in Norfolk about an hr. away. Tuesday turned into a crazy evening but the boys, Rebecca and myself drove down to Mom's to spend the night b/c Rebecca had an early appointment Wed. Thankfully, after numerous test the Cardiologist determined Rebecca is perfectly healthy. She was diagnosed w/acrocyanosis which is a blueness of the extremities.
Dressing a little girl is so much more fun than a boy so here's a few pictures I've gotten of her this week.
