Awake at 3am




Michael got up with Esther last night for her usual 3am feeding and while changing her diaper she peed all over her clothes. She was wide awake and naked so of course Michael took some pictures. She is just so cute and getting so big. I can't believe how much she has changed in over a week.
On Tuesday we had our first doctors appointment. Esther is now 7 pounds 4.5 ounces and 20 inches long. Everything else looked great. We are going to stop the caffeine medication but keep the home monitor on her for a couple of weeks just to be safe. She has been on a higher calorie formula but since her weight has been doing well we plan on switching to regular formula as soon as we finish the higher calorie formula that we purchased. Which at the rate she is going that will be in about a week.

Esther is looking beautiful--she is filling out and just adorable. Congratulations to all 3 of you for some great progress (especially Esther!) Hope you have drier nights in the future (way to go in capturing the moment on film though)!

We are excited to hear you are home and doing so well! Esther...you are just a doll! Enjoy each and every second...even the poopy ones. Ha Ha! Brandon says Kathryn tells the best stories in the middle of the night - so Esther must be loving those! Thanks for keeping us updated. We think and pray for you every day! Love, The McGuire Family
