Sabrina Lucia

Well the elevated feet and crossed legs didn't work. Sabrina was born the following morning just hours before the Lorelei's graduation ceremony and the school performance. We were fortunate to have the grandparents here to take them and Maria shot some video. Jenna took photos for us, too.

Lindsay, always my go to photographer, took some shots of Sabrina. So far I just have this teaser one, but it is a beaut.

It is now 2 weeks later and Sabrina is an easy baby so far. She just eats and sleeps with very little awake time. Of course she wakes doesn't sleep for long stretches at night yet, but it is mostly manageable. Compared to Emma's eating schedule as a newborn, this is luxurious. Sabrina had her 2 week appointment with Dr. Finer yesterday. She is growing just fine. She eats about 2 oz. at a sitting. I looked back through my journal and found that at this age, Emma was drinking 3 1/2 oz. at a sitting. No wonder Emma gained 2 pounds above her birth weight in the first two weeks! Sabrina now weighs 8 lbs. 6 oz. ( up from 7 - 10) and is 20 1/4 inches long. That puts her smack dab at the 50th percentile for both her height and weight. Her head on the other hand..... at 13 3/4 inches is somewhere in the teens. I guess she's got a tiny head like her mom.

Who does she look like, you might be wondering? At times I see shades of each of the girls at the newborn stage but so far it is hard to tell. At other times I think she looks like no one else. She has a head shaped like Emma (and me), a nose that is straight with no little ski slope to it like mine of the other girls, dark hair like Emma had as a newborn (but of course it fell out and was replaced with blonde hair), curl to her hair - like Lorelei? (hard to say because Lorelei was bald for so long!), slate blue eyes that will inevitably turn brown on me, long fingers, feet and toes and a svelte little body. Wait - I haven't mentioned her perfect ears. Seriously. Her ears are absolutely perfect. I think that they are small like mine, but on the head of a baby it is hard for me to tell what is big and what is small.
