Triple Threat

This sweet little girl has tripled her weight in three months! She started life at 3 lbs 2 ozs and 16.5 in long and now she's 9 lbs 9 ozs and 21.5 in long. The doctors continue to be amazed at her progress and Mama & Daddy are pretty proud too!

Hannah Kate -Three Months

This month you:

• Left preemie clothes behind, it's newborn clothes and diapers all the way.
• At your weight check you were 9 lbs 8 ozs and 21.5 in long (Mama has to double check this, but it's what I remember).
• You nurse like a champ and the doctor is always impressed that we aren't supplementing yet you are growing so well.
• Mama's voice can make you look around the room trying to find her
• Daddy can make you smile like no one else.
• The fish mobile on your swing can make even a terrible day better. The center of the mobile lights up and you love to watch it.
• You want to sit up on our shoulder and look around.

First Sunday

Sunday we were finally able to take Hannah Kate to church. The doctors have wanted us to be really careful about her exposure to germs and have limited her contact with large groups of people. We still have to be careful, but we were so excited to finally take her and introduce her to people who have prayed for her and loved on us, and just be able to fellowship. It went fairly well, but the nursing room did not have heat (it sounded like something had broken) so Hannah Kate and I spent most of our time in the lobby. Baby girl grunts like a man in her sleep and it was too loud :). We eventually wandered down to the nursery and I sat down there with her because a friend of ours was volunteering there. I'm not ready to leave her (plus it wouldn't work well with nursing) but I was able to hold her and help out a little. Would you believe she didn't make a peep once we got there?

 

Hanging out with her Daddy while Mama gets ready. Check out those tights :)

Cell phone pics Daddy snapped while they were waiting on me to get ready. She was in a great mood!

Mostly Wordless Wednesday

 Matchy feet

 Snuggle time (Look at that chin, I want to eat her up!)

Due Date

Happy due date, Hannah Kate! It's hard to believe your little 9 week 5 day old self wasn't expected until today.  The miracle of your birth and how you are thriving are not lost on your Daddy and me. We are so glad you are doing well and that God is allowing us to raise you.

 

The Lord has done GREAT things for us and we are filled with joy!

Psalm 126:3

Comparing

I'll post about Christmas later, but thought I'd share some pictures of Hannah and me. My mom scanned these pictures of my first Christmas from my baby book. We took some pictures of Hannah in my Christmas dress and had fun comparing. We might be related :).
