Emily Eight Weeks Old

September 25, 2006 by 3 ladybugs

I called the hospital this morning to check up on Emily. She now weighs 1030 grams (2 lbs, 4 oz)! She is now 35.5 cm (~15 inches) long, and her head grew another half centimeter this past week.

We are 2 very Type A parents who have learned to take the bumps and bruises of our life as they come. We have found that the more we plan our life, the more it becomes unplanned. From having severely premature triplets, to loosing them; to having a miscarriage, to having an uneventful pregnancy; purchasing a house; job changes; unemployment; purchasing a car; adding a dog to the mix; cancer diagnosis and all the stuff in between. Our life has happened when we were planning on something else.

I hope you will stay and watch as we plan our life that often becomes unplanned, yet just as rewarding. If you have any questions, post a comment to the blog and I will answer them with my next post.

Thank you,

Jennifer, Tony, Maximillian (13), Nathaniel (9), Fenway (12), Amelia Pond (1)
