2 weeks old!

-
she actually had her eyes open, but she wouldn't look at the camera! caroline is doing well. she is still nursing well. at her last weight check on thursday she weighed the same as she did at the weight check on sunday. the doctor wanted us to start supplementing her feedings to help her gain weight. i had a breakdown because i really want her to be a good nurser and was afraid that bottles and formula, even if only as a supplement, would ruin the progress she has already made. but we came up with a compromise - after each feeding, i pump and then jeremy gives the pumped milk to her from a syringe so we can try to avoid nipple confusion. i think she's gaining weight - we'll see at her next weigh-in on friday!
