Growing Like a Weed

We are in the habit of getting rid of the weeds that grow on the farm, but Sydney seems to be growing faster then them and we couldn't be happier.  She continues to be healthy and often gives us a few hours of sleep at night between feeding.  While we won't have her official weight for the week until our next midwife appointment on Wednesday, we did take a shot at weighing her and it looks like she is right around 4.2kg (9.25lbs) which is some amazing growth.  We are certain she will be even heavier come the middle of next week.

2 1/2 Weeks In

We have been continuing to grow and learn with Sydney and to adjust to life as a family of three.  Our first out of home midwife appointment was this last week and at our last weigh-in she had gained nearly 400 grams(14oz), almost 5 times the minimum 85g (3oz) per week they want to see.  She continues to be in good health and gives both mummy and daddy some sleep...for the most part.


Out for a walk in Short Hills Provincial Park last Sunday


Waiting at the midwives' office - they are both so cute


Notice the resemblance?
