Ouch! My first big girl band-aid!Wow--Margaret continues to amaze us with her adorable personality and her incredible strength! Yesterday we had our third visit to the pediatrician's office. Dr. B. said that Margaret looks great and continues to grow at a steady rate. This week she weighed 5 pounds 6 ounces; she gained 5 1/2 ounces in one week! So Dr. B. said that we could wait two weeks to have our next visit, and I can try to nurse her for most of her feedings!!! Unfortunately, Margaret received her first round of shots in Dr. B.'s office and showed off her lovely cry/scream, but our sweet nurse, Faith, was very quick and comforting.
Margaret also had a few visitors last week. My sweet friend, Danielle, stopped by last Friday with her 7 week old baby boy, Crosby. He is such an adorable little man and already weighs 8 1/2 pounds! We had a fun visit catching up and staring at our sweet little miracles. Thank you, Dr. B.! (Danielle and I met in Dr. B.'s office last summer and share similar experiences. We were both high risk patients, and Dr. B. spoiled us with his incredible care. Danielle has been a great friend to me throughout this pregnancy and shares a strong faith in God. We both feel truly blessed!)
G-G-Ma also came for a visit! She held Margaret for the first time and admired her coos and grunts. She shared some fascinating stories of the family trip to the Galapagos Islands. She also described the moment that the family heard the glorious news of Margaret's birth and the exciting toast that the entire family shared on the boat!!!
On Monday, Great-Granddaddy Bob came over for lunch with Mama Susie. He held Margaret for the first time and just loved staring at her adorable features. Miss Margaret is his thirteenth great-grandchild--pretty incredible!
We continue to stay healthy over here, even though Wade and I are not sleeping. Our precious angel seems to be a night-owl and loves to show off her noises at night. The pediatrician actually says this is a good thing. Margaret's increased alertness and strong cries show that her brain is continuing to mature and is working.
Thank you for your prayers---she is just a doll, and we feel truly blessed to have her in our lives!

oh my goodness, what a big girl! And already charming a fellow (besides her daddy!)
It is such a joy to pray for Margaret and for her amazing parents and to thank God for such good doctors and nurses who truly care.
May God continue to prop you up when you are tired!
