Making Amends...

Caroline had her first "after I was born" visit from the Midwife yesterday. She's healthy and growing! However... we have to amend her birth weight.

Yesterday she tipped the scales at 5 lbs, 4 oz. No, she hasn't lost THAT much weight, after re-weighing her on the fish scale she was originally weighed on, we determined that her birth weight had been off...

SO... here are the stats: On 26 February 2010, sometime between 12:45 and 12:50 AM, Caroline Louise Stahr entered the world. She tipped the scales at a whopping 5 lbs, 10 oz. No wonder she doesn't fit into anything that we have for her! She was still 18.75 inches long, making her the record smallest baby in the Andrew and Linda Stahr family. She fits into Savannah and Margaret's baby crib. And there's still a little room for growth there.

She eats well, sleeps even better, and is expected to start making headway in her poundage shortly! I'll keep everyone posted.

LeGrand dotes on her, and the other children beg to hold her. We're keeping Margaret at bay until her runny nose leaves.

Mother is doing fabulously, and feeling great about how quickly the recovery seems to be going. Don't worry, I'm still taking my daily naps...
