3 week weigh in...

Mommy and Emma waiting for the Doctor.

If you read our blog last week, we had to come back to the doctor again this week for a weigh in.  They were a little concerned because she wasn't gaining enough weight.

Well this week she didn't gain any weight, she is still 9 lbs. 2 oz. from last week.  Dr. McCormick isn't too worried because she says Emma is so alert, which is nice to not have a doctor worried. So we are now supposed to supplement with a little bit of formula along with me breast feeding.  I am not thrilled about this, but we will do whatever we need to do to keep our little gal healthy.  And it is not for good, just until we can get her to gain a little bit.

And guess what... back again next week for a weigh in.

Doug thinks that because she was born so big that she was given a bit of a complex.  Everyone said "wow what a big girl", so he thinks she is trying to watch her figure.  Mommy and Daddy are going to have to make sure that Emma has lots of self confidence and doesn't pay attention to what others say.

Your hair looks good, did you get new highlights? Tell Emma to eat up- fat babies are happy babies!

Yes, I do have highlights and really bad roots. I need a touch up badly, but thanks for thinking it looks good!

Marie-you lok so pretty in this picture. I hope Emma doesn't get a complex. I'm sure you will nip that in the bud. She will start gaining weight soon!
