Dear Sydney,
You have a weight check today at the Pediatrician's office. Our goal for today is 8 lbs. 15 oz. I am in high hopes that you beat that goal because yesterday morning you drank 4 oz! That never happens. All morning I waited for you to just throw it all up but nope...you kept it in! Good girl! After that, however, you only ate about 2 1/2 oz which is your usual.

You slept until 10 o'clock today. You were one tired girl! And then around 11:30 I sat you on the couch to make you a bottle and I came back and you were asleep. I hope this means you are growing and not because of your heart.

We took family pictures last night. I'm so glad we did them except I could have managed without the millions of mosquitos that were swarming around us! I came home and counted at least 20 bites on my body, you didn't get any and your Dad got 1. You and your Dad must have the kind of blood that mosquitos don't like. I was so glad you didn't get any, though. I would have felt so bad if you did. I am excited about the pictures. We should be getting them back pretty soon. I can't wait to see how they turned out.

I think we'll go for a walk today. It is so nice outside. After that- I'm not sure what we'll do. I've been working on a little sewing project so maybe I'll come and do that while you sleep. No matter what we do, I still love having you around. I love you so much.

Love Always,
Mom
