Rebekah Jane Cook was born June 10 at 11:31 pm (exactly the time a friend of mine predicted through a dream a few days prior) weighing 8lb 2oz and looking too beautiful to belong to her parents. :) I still feel like she must be borrowed, although that feeling is starting to wear off. She is also just a little too close to perfect to belong to her parents. She nurses well, sleeps well (with the exception of only one night shortly after coming home that reduced me to tears but was still only one night), almost never spits up, has been mostly following a schedule for at least a week now, was born strong enough to lift up her head, and rolled over half a dozen times the day she turned two weeks old (although I have yet to see her do it again since that day). She has very expressive hands and stretches, so much so that I call her stretching her interpretive dancing. Either that or sometimes she looks like a little puppet master. She lost just over a pound by the time she was four days old, but that's more my problem than hers. After having to start supplementing with formula, she is finally gaining weight, but she's still not back to her birth weight yet.
This is her the day before she turned two weeks. I'll leave you with this for now and add more details and pics in future posts.
