Samantha

Samantha was born on February 26 at 5:38 PM, weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz, with a height of 20.5 in. She is going to be 8 weeks old on Sunday. I'm not sure where the time has gone. I've had a ton of things to blog about, but instead I spend all my time taking care of Samantha and occasionally squeezing in a few chores. Remember to check out the pictures at http://hooppics.shutterfly.com/. That gets updated more regularly.

Samantha is born!

Samantha is so precious. Tonight we found out how much she weighs. We went to a children's consignment sale and Aaron found a scale for $3.50. On our way to the registers, Aaron asked another mom how old her baby was. She said the baby was 4 months. When I told her that Samantha would be 8 weeks on Sunday, the mom asked how much Samantha weighed. She said her 4 month old weighed 11 pounds. We didn't really know how much Sammie weighed yet (that's why we were buying the scale!) but it looked like Sammie was bigger. The 4-month-old had clearly been a premie and was still trying to catch up. But she was so adorable! So we set up the scale as soon as we got home, and Sammie weighs a whopping 12 pounds! I'm so proud.
