Six Weeks Later

I had my 6 week check-up with the midwife today. Just as I anticipated, everything is great, and we've been given the oficial OK for resuming all pre-baby activities, which is why I was surprised that Tiger wanted to do an Eating Day today, but after 8 weeks what's another day, I suppose. I really like my midwife and she and the receptionist, Joe, were adaquately thrilled with Lily's cuteness :-). Luckily for me, Abuelita was not working today and she voulenteered to accompany us to the appointment--I had to wait quite a long time in the exam room and in the mean time Lily started to fuss and Abuelita took her out of the clinic to enjoy the warm day...If i would have had to entertain her before/during an exam or she was screaming...that would have been a nightmare.
We had them weigh her out of curiosity, I guessed she would weigh 9 lbs, and Julita guessed 10 lbs...my adoreable little piggy who snorts when she is very, very hungry weighs 11 lbs!! Two inches and four pounds in six weeks...even the midwife was amazed :-)
After we walked the two blocks to Jamba Juice and the Breadsmith--Yum! We had a good time eating out treats, chatting, and enjoying comments on what a cute baby we had. I will never tire of hearing that! Yesterday at church, a grandmother told me that Lily was the most beautiful baby she had ever seen. I'm so glad everyone agrees with us on this subject :-p. My own mother's responce to this story was, "Well, you were a beautiful baby, too." Which is not the point; this isn't about me. Plus, that woman didn't see me as a baby, so I was not able to throw off her judgement ;-p.
