No one said they started growing this fast.

Emily Jane is 12 days old today and we took her into the doctor for her newborn checkup. She has gained 14 ounces (almost a pound) and grew 1/2 an inch. It seems hard to believe that she is already growing so much. The Dr. said that she looks very healthy and was very pleased with her progress.

The Dr. also checked on Mandy's progress and after doing an ultrasound, concluded that she is doing much better. She has to take pills for two more days and then she should be all done, and no D&C.

We took Mom Smith back to the airport on Saturday, and will miss having her around. She was a great blessing to us. Life is beginning to settle down into a routine, Emily eats, burps, sleeps, poops, eats, sleeps, etc... Thankfully she has been sleeping very well at night, so Mommy and Daddy aren't zombies yet.

There isn't anything else too exciting to tell you, so I am going to go read "Peter and the Starcatchers" to my wife.

Goodnight
