Great news

So we went to the pediatrician today and Daisy has gained 5 oz in the last two days! YEA for her! We were so excited. She is now 6lbs 11oz and only at 8% weight loss(which I guess they worry if it is greater than 10%). This was such great news. Our new goal is to be back to 7lbs 5 oz by next Monday. Thank you for your prayers and please continue to pray that we are able to pack on the ounces!

So after such a great 24 hour period, last night Daisy was on a feeding craze! She was hungry from 12:45-6:30 this morning!!!!! I would feed her and try to soothe her for 30 minutes and then feed her again. We were exhausted this morning, but luckily she slept from 6:45ish to 9:30, so we were able to get some sleep (as well as a short nap this afternoon)
Daisy's heart echo is scheduled for 8:00 wednesday morning. Please continue to pray that this comes back okay and that we are able to make it to her 8:00 appointment! Right now 11:00 is the earliest we are able to get around!

Things are still really great and we are having so much fun. I am not sure that being a parent has really sunk in to us yet, however, we love her more and more each day. My favorite moments are when she is eating and she loves to hold my hand (no pictures for obvious reasons) and my other favorite is when she is awake and not feeding and just looking at me, trying to figure her mommy out! She is truly a blessing and we are thankful each day for such a beautiful baby girl!
Here are some more pictures:



Nana is still here and loving spending time with Daisy! (plus she is a huge help around the house)


Daisy found her thumb for the first time!!!! So cute!!!!




Mommy and Daisy.

Daisy and her adorable piggy bank from our friends David, Tam and Luke. Isn't it the cutest thing you have ever seen?



Daddy, Daisy and Bimmer....the boys really haven't been phased by the new addition. Thank goodness, plus they are spending every night in the bed with Nana!


Lilly meeting Baby Daisy (her cousin) for the first time. She was so cute with her. Could not have gone better!



Daisy's first time in her swing.....she couldn't quite figure it out.
She was awake this afternoon, laying on the couch. Notice all the outfit changes. We are going through a phase where everytime we have a dirty diaper it is blowing out either the back or the leg! Daddy is having a great time changing them all!
Mommy and Daisy.


This is our favorite picture so far. Daisy is giving mommy a high five. (Chris attributes it to his new camera capturing moments like these)
