weight gain

This is how we monitor the health of our child: behavior, alert time, temperature, skin color, interest in Bruins hockey, temperament, poops, feeding and weight gain. Maggie is scoring high marks in all categories; here she is on the scales:

She has gained 11 ozs. in just eight days!!! Now weighing in at a respectable 9lbs. 2ozs, she is hard at work forming her McCain jowls and puppy belly. It is amazing to watch the transformation of her body. We see differences in her each day, and we're with her 24/7.

I love Maggie's little foot sticking out of the blanket while being weighed!!!
She just looks so soft and snuggly.
Aren't you totally amazed at how long you can spend staring at her....like all night and all day practically!!!!
I can't hold off much longer...I've gotta come see you all. Gotta get childcare and come without my kids so I can embrace my first snuggle with Maggie!!! But I won't steal her for too long....dontcha miss her when people hold her for too long???? I'll be calling you soon.
Love, Sonya

This may be the most beautiful picture I've ever seen. She looks so much like her mamacita here. You guys are so lucky. Just so you know: not all babies are this beautiful.

Love to you all,
Sarah
