Megan's First Week









Here are some pictures from Megan's first week. Overall she is doing very well. She's gaining weight and seems to be eating more and more each day. Sometimes I don't know where she puts it all. She was weighed at the doctor's office last Wednesday and she was 8pds, 4 oz. Then on Friday she weighed in at 8pds, 10 oz. Then this morning we took her in again for a weight check and she was at 8pds, 13 oz. So she's almost back up to her birthweight. She hasn't quite grasped the whole nursing thing yet. We're of course working on it, but she gets easily frustrated and will stop and cry. So in the meantime we're still giving her lots of bottles. But both she and Jenny are recovering wonderfully.

We've had lots of family in town to see Megan and help us out. We just wanted to say thank you again to Jackie for all of her help over the past two weeks. I'm sure she was starting to feel like a local here in Midland, but we really appreciated her help around the house and with Ben. Also, we wanted to say thanks to my Mom and Dad for coming up as well and helping us out with things. We're so glad they got to come up and spend some quality time with Ben and taking him out around the town. Also, thanks to Judd for letting us borrow his wife for 2 weeks, and we're glad he came up to see Megan and spend some time with Ben. We hope everyone had a good time while they were up here. It was really great to see everyone.
