The Weight of the World

Thursday, May 01, 2008

While we were in the hospital, I didn't eat much the first couple of days, and then I ate salad for every meal for a week. From day one, DG ate donuts, hamburgers, french fries, coke, and ice cream for EVERY meal. I will tell you a gazillion times, I am not exaggerating. Ask him. It got to the point, where I had to ask him to stop because the french fries were flying off his plate and jumping into my mouth, two at a time. Then we got home and he informs me that he lost 2 lbs while we were in the hospital. Hrrumph.

UPDATE: I've started getting phone calls from Hadley's fan club because I haven't been posting enough updates! Hadley has been eating very well on her own, but when we went into the doctor last Tuesday she had lost an ounce. The doctor is not overly concerned, but we are trying to bulk up on calories by giving her more concentrated formula along with the breast milk. But as far as I am concerned, every day is great progress. She is holding her head up nicely, and though she can't do this anymore, we are working towards it every day with our own form of physical therapy.

I was just going to call for an update, and saw your post. So glad she's doing better. Apparently DG's nerves burn fuel. :) hope to see you soon!

I know!!! I exercise two hours a day, eat quinoa and kale, and lose one pound in 8 months. Mark gets a cold for a week, does nothing but lay on the couch, eating, and loses 10 pounds. It is not right, I tell you.

Such good news for Hadley. What an amazing little lady. Give her a big hug for me. And maybe she just takes after her Daddy, and loses a little weight even though she is eating so much!
