Day 53

Sydney now weighs 3lbs 9.5oz and is 16.25 inches long! Just a week ago we were anticipating her hitting 3lbs and now 4 is just around the corner. The hospital won't even begin to consider her coming home until she hits 4lbs so you can just imagine how excited we are.

She was soo happy and alert yesterday and she's definitely crying (briefly) when she is bothered. Her cries are beautiful. Somebody remind us of that in 3 months, ok? :laugh:

Pics!

While she was being changed and weighed, B put his hand in front of her to protect her from falling off the bed because she was squirming all over the place. She grabbed his finger and simply would not let go and we had to pry it away so that the nurse could finish working with her. She was not happy about that.

Well Niki, B said it a while ago, you have been replaced...just kidding. I know when she reached out for his finger he grew an extra 2 ft. A daddy protecting his little girl, and her counting on him being there to do it. That reminded me of my daddy this morning and I started to cry. At least I don't have to go to work ;o)
