I need to start off by writing that I really do have the best in-laws! My sweet MIL gave up 3 weeks of her time to come out and stay with us. My FIL gave up over 2 weeks without his lovely wife. They are truely selfless and very generous people! Dave and I teased Grandma that we were going to lock the doors the day she had to leave. It was so nice to have a constant playmate for the boys, a kitchen fairy who did the dishes, and a personal assistant to cook meals and grocery shop.
Because Dorothy lost 12% of her body weight at the hospital, we had to get her weighed when she was 3 days old. It was the perfect time to try out her first dress.
She still hadn't gained any weight, so we had to go back when she was 1 week old. We were thrilled she gained 4 ounces!
At 2 weeks, we had to go back to make sure she was up to her birth weight. Thank goodness she made it. She was right at 7lbs 1 oz!
