Nutrition Facts

Our Peanut has been savoring her mommy. We were a little concerned that things were not progressing as expected, but after a wonderful visit with the Saint Vincent Medical Center Womens Center Lactation consultant today, we have a renewed confidence that everything is A-OK. Peanut weighed 5lbs 6.6oz on the scale at the center, which is wonderful news in itself, considering her discharge wieght was 5lbs 7oz. Earlier in the week we were a little concerned when the mobile scales the in-home nurses were using, weighed the peanut at 5lbs 2oz on Wednesday and Thursday. Today somehow I think those scales being 5oz inaccurate isn't all that hard.

Anyway, enough about nursing, Grandma Ward, Dave, Jenna, Nate, and Great Gramma are here this evening, to help. They dropped off the priceless pictures from the delivery room, and we'll do what we can to get them published.

Jen Bailey came out earlier today with Andrew and Conner, both to bring Great Gramma and to visit and help.

Peanut is a happy, healthy little nut, and continues to smile daily. The shower gifts remain unwrapped in the addition, and the prayers, cards, and congratulations continue to arrive in the mailbox each day. Thank you everyone for your compassion, we'll do what we can to get to everything as fast as we can.

Gramma Ricci should be here in a few weeks, and we can't wait. With the birth as unexpected as it was, she was not able to stay long last weekend, and hasn't had a chance to get the peanut in her arms yet. I'm sure she's looking forward to it, as much as peanut as we are.
