Maisy's nurse came again today. She weighs 8lbs.11.5oz. I'll admit, it was a little disappointing to see her gain only 2.5 oz in an entire week. The nurse assured me, however, that she must have gained length this week and that she will probably put on more weight next week. No need to be worried about one poor weigh in. I was told Maisy couldn't look better if she tried. She is pretty cute.
Because Maisy turns 3 months tomorrow, I'll give a few more updates, event though I just updated a few days ago. Feel free to skip this. You may know more about our baby than you ever wanted to.
* Maisy is still wearing a lot of newborn clothes, but is also wearing a lot of 0-3 month clothes. To be honest, I'm a little sad that I won't be pulling out the bigger clothes right now, but I really don't think we are too far off. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy that she is still little. I just have too many cute 3-6 month clothes that I look forward to putting her in.
*Because we don't really go anywhere I let Maisy wear pajamas a lot and often don't put anything in her hair (a real change from Gracie who always seemed to be dressed up because I took her to class with me so often).
* I gave Maisy her last bath in the bathroom sink the other day. She could still fit fine, but I want her to be able to splash and enjoy the bath more.
*We set up Maisy's crib in Gracie's room, although they are still not technically sharing a room. I hope to start the transition soon, especially with Maisy sleeping so well, but we're not quite ready.
* Maisy is generally a really good baby but we hardly ever let her fuss because we don't want her to waste the extra calories crying and getting worked up. It is interesting to think of everything in terms of saving calories- we bundle her up, make sure her bottles are perfectly warm, I try to limit the number of times I change and bathe her ,etc.
*She generally goes down at 8 or 9 p.m. and sleeps until 5 or 6 a.m.
*I'm still pumping for her. We'll see how long my milk lasts. (did you know that I pumped almost everything for the first 2 months with hand pumps? Now I'm using electric).
*Maisy is smiling a lot and I know she thinks I'm funny. She does somewhat of a cooing laugh but I have yet to hear a big laugh from her.
* Maisy can roll from stomach to back and does it almost every time we put her on her tummy.
* Maisy seems to have an internal clock and almost always starts to fuss right as I'm taking my first bite of dinner. :)
*She LOVES having her diaper changed and is all smiles whenever I lay her down to change her.
* We love this little baby and are happy she is part of our family.

So precious Maisy! Keep on growing!
She is so cute! Sorry it was a disappointing weigh-in but in the pictures she looks really good.
Wow, she is tiny. You're a great mom, Maggie. I'm so glad that she's healthy and doing well.
Love you all! :) Such cute posts. Yay for little Maisy!
thanks for the comment... We are so happy for Maisy's growth! (shelby prays for Gracie's baby pretty regularly) yes, we would LOVE to do something with you, are you ready for visitors?
p.s. why Wally Kesler, you ought to be ashamed of yourself... doesn't a hamburger 'weight' for an order of fries? (etc etc etc...)
Your babe is adorable and I love seeing her tiny baby body in the big crib. Fun updates too--I love reading about her. I am pretty sure I need to meet her finally too! Would love to hear those sweet laughs and snuggle her up in my arms. Yummy.
