"Big" News!

I can already tell that my little girl is an achiever.  Give her a goal, and she will tackle and overcome it.  At Cassidy's first weigh-in, she had not gained as much as the doctor wanted her to.  "We would like to see about an ounce a day" we were told.  Well...we just looked Cassidy in the eye (not a easy feat at this age, by the way) and we said, "Sweetie.  We would like to see a 7-ounce gain by next week."  She gained 8 ounces.  That means she surpassed her goal by almost 15%.  

That's my girl.

Cassidy is completely adorable! we really look forward to meeting her and smooching her! what a doll.
awesome work on the weight gain ~ though i don't personally put much stock in doctorly over-concern about ounces and pounds ~ babies grow at the rate that is right for them and Cassidy is doing fantastically!
