Sleep Baby, Sleep

Last night was far better for all of us! Thanks to whoever prayed for sleep. We took Baby to the pediatrician and she is doing well. She lost quite a bit of her birth weight so we go in tomorrow for a weight check. We needed to amp up her ounces at each feeding too, I think this added to a better nights sleep. We fed her at 10:00, 1:00 and 4:30. I call that a success over going to bed after 1:00 a.m. the first night and up throughout the night "on her 20 minute clock" as Scott called it.

We were able to take her to our pediatrician, the one and only Doctor Booth. Many of our friends go to him as well and feel mutual admiration. We have gone to him since Reagan was a newborn and have grown a lot with him. This is the man who measured Reagan's melon and said, "She has the head of a Harvard Girl". That has stuck with us for sure! And he is the man Tennison called Doctor Poops because he couldn't get out the name Booth. I was mortified, he laughed - thankfully. We prayed with him after his wife passed away and have loved on him in the grieving. Just before he left the room, Doctor Booth looked me in the eye and said, "Good job." It meant the world to me, just like when your dad says he is proud of you. I almost lost it right there, must be the new mommy hormones! Ha.

Scott and I aren't in this for the accolades, we are in it for this baby girl. We love adoption and all in entails. To have this chance to give her all the lovin' she can get by 5 people and a dog, and to pray over her, that is the blessing.

Here is a math problem for you: If Kris takes approximately 47 pictures a day for approximately 45 days, how many pictures is that? Answer: 2,115. Will that overwhelm her new mommy? Doubt it!!
