Update and Margaret's First Adventure

Our Beautiful Angel

(I'm trying to work on the red eye remover!)

Margaret had another wonderful check-up this week. She is still battling reflux and some minor digestion issues, but she is gaining weight and that is all that matters. At Monday's appointment she weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces; she gained 13 ounces in 13 days! Dr. B. increased her dose of reflux medicine, and we will see if that helps any.

In the last few days, we have started somewhat of a routine at night, which is super exciting for mom and dad. There is now a 4 to 4 1/2 hour period in between feedings, so Wade and I can sleep for almost 3 hours straight!

She is very alert during the day now and will even look you in the eyes. She loves looking around and being apart of the activity. Lately the beautiful weather has allowed us the opportunity to take longs walks, and she loves the stroller.

Next week she will receive her final synagis shot, which helps protect her from RSV. We are very excited about the warm weather and the end of cold/flu season!!!

Uncle Josh has the magic touch!

A few weekends ago, Wade and I took Margaret on her first out-of-town trip and traveled up to my parents' mountain house in Monteagle. Unfortunately, it was one of those foggy weekends on the mountain raining most of the time, but that just made sitting by the fire even more enjoyable. Margaret loved it up there, especially the extra attention from Mama Susie and Daddaddy. It was nice to have eight arms instead of just four!
