Evey had her 2 week appointment last Tuesday, 2/17/09. She checked out fine. Her height was 21 3/4 inches, which puts her in the 90% of girls her age. Her weight was 8lbs 1.5 oz, which puts her a little over her birth weight (which is good), and puts her in the 42% of girls her age. Her head circumference was 14 inches, which puts her in the 38% of girls her age. The doc says that the measurements taken at 2 weeks don't determine their 'grown-up' height/weight/etc., but at 2 years we'll get a better idea. With her being up at her birth weight we're allowed to let her sleep as much as she wants at night, which is still apparently not all that much. She'll go about 3-4 hours at the beginning of the night and then wants to eat and then might sleep another 2 hours, and then the sun will come up and then theirs no sleeping after that. ;)
I had meant to add some picts, but for some reason they didn't upload before I was signed off. Sorry about that.
The first image is of Evey just sleeping during the week. The second image is of Evey doing some tummy time, getting her neck working out.
The video, below, is just of Evey being awake, which she is a little less than half the time.

The lactation consultant suggested to us to not put Owen in quiet, dark rooms during the day, instead have music and lights on so he didn't sleep as soundly. It did help with him sleeping longer at night, though at two weeks he was already squirming in his chair to check out the television.
Hopefully she is sleeping at night better before you go back to work!
Yay, now you can get 3 hours of sleep...In a row!
Evey loves sleeping amid noise and action, which usually works out to be a good thing. It's when it's quiet and dark that she gets upset. That doesn't work well if we all want to sleep at the same time....
Tummy time is awesome.
