Check out the difference:
Sept. 19 (She wasn't even 6 pounds here. Maybe just barely; she was 5.13 on the 17th.) |

I honestly think she's a pound bigger than that second picture. I've been bathing her in the bathtub with her special seat (thanks, Stacy!) but I think I'll do another sink bath tonight for another comparison.
But oh, it's so hard to see her getting bigger. It fills me with such joy and such aching every day. Does that ever go away? I think God gave me my baby early for a number of reasons, but one might have been because He knows how poorly I deal with change. I'm glad I've gotten to hold my tiny baby just a little bit longer than most.
I'm also glad I gave birth to a tiny baby...I was looking at her laying on my belly last week thinking, "Some women give BIRTH to babies this size." I honor those ladies in my heart of hearts.
(PS for mamas-to-be: While that first bath fills most everyone with fear and trembling [they're so slippery! so tiny! ahh!] using the sink was the best thing ever in the beginning. She LOVED it [still loves baths] and she stayed warmer and more secure since babies fit a little better in the bathers when they are a little bigger. See? Grandma still knows best.)
Wow!! She's getting so big!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! She's growing like a weed!! I say that by 4 months she'll weigh more than Eliana :) Not what Eliana weighed at 4 months... more than Eliana will weigh at 10 months :)It is hard to see them grow, hard to pack away clothes that no longer fit, but so fun at the same time to see them grow, and develop, and to see their personalities start to come out more and more. I love it!!! :)
ReplyDeleteShe is just precious... and so glad the bather is working for ya!
she is adorable and getting so big, but she is still little! I am jealous, I have always wanted tiny squishy little babies, but mine were both 8 pounders and fast growers and solid (well Ella was a little more squishy since she was a girl)! I love all your pictures of her, she is so cute!
