Myla reaches zero!

Today is Myla's due date, she is officially zero now. Ok, so she's actually three months, but in terms of her development, this is the zero point. I'm sure she will start doing things so fast we won't be able to keep up with her. Good thing we got that video camera last night.

Myla's week of doctor's appointments went good. She looks great (so says the doctor) and weighed 6 pounds 3/4 ounces on Thursday. We also measured her at 18 1/4 inches. Her eyes are stable, which means even though they aren't getting better, they aren't getting worse either. That doctor said that in most cases, at about 45 or 50 weeks, it just suddenly goes away and the baby is fine. Its hard to imagine we have to wait another 5 or 10 weeks, but if that's what we have to do...

So, we go back to both doctors in two weeks. This week, Myla gets to rest and grow. She is still attached to the Tin Man. In fact, they almost bumped her up after the first test to an 1/8 of a liter, but after the second test decided to keep it at 1/16. But she looks great and is really a little growing machine. We are having so much fun watching her grow and change. She's such a little miracle and we are so thankful every day for this bundle of joy.

Just think of where she was 13 weeks ago - it always reminds me of what Aunt Bessie said. The miracle is not that we grow, the miracle is that we STOP growing! Imagine if Myla grew 6 inches every 3 months for the rest of her life! WOW.

Love you...more -
