Pass the baby

Morgen made four new friends over the last few days. Five, if you count the doctor who gave her her shots...but should we count the doctor, really?

First, Rhanda and Glen came by for dinner, giving us lots of opportunity to discuss babies and theology, then Wendy swung by for lunch, providing not only lunch, but also some much needed moral support during a breastpump and bottle purchase. On Thursday Kelli came to play surrogate parent during our two-month check-up, since Gavin had to be on campus to teach his German class and meet with the Capito Project staff.

Morgen is just fine, according to the doctor - in fact, we've very little to report besides the fact that Morgen cried just a little bit - about as much as Mom did. She now weighs 5.420 kg according to the fancy hospital baby scale - we're too lazy to dig the calculator out to do the conversion to pounds, but if it helps at all, she is now firmly in the 3 to 6-month clothing size. That's pretty advanced, for a two-month old, don't you think? Anyway, Morgen slept most of the day away after her appointment, only to awake in the wee hours of the morning, bright eyed and twitchy-limbed, wanting to play....Four years ago I got up at about the same time on August 1st to have my hair and makeup done for the wedding...so Morgen's timing was perfect.
