The Biggest Gainer... The 2-week weigh-in!

There's no other event in the first 2 weeks of a baby's life that gives me more anticipation.  And why not?  Every mother has those instincts... that big question: Is my baby getting enough to eat?  Is he healthy?  With Anna, I was in a "nurse or die" mentality.  It turns out babies are a lot tougher than I give them credit.  I held back weighing Dallin until his appointment.  I knew he was getting bigger, but I didn't know how much bigger.  I was hoping he'd make it back to his birth weight by now.  He lost quite a bit in the hospital.  

Where is Alison Sweeney in a tight dress when you need her? 

"... and your current weight is..."

(scale numbers bounce back and forth...)

9 lbs. 1 oz.!!!  

He surpassed he birth weight with an extra 12 ounces!  What was I worried about?!  Dr. Dave was very impressed.  

I love watching this little boy grow!  He does have more of my coloring, but it interesting the features he gets from Bevan, like his feet, his long torso, and his skinny little legs!  Anna has been a great helper.  She's always piling blankets on him.  Here's some more shots of my goofy little guy!
