Due Date!

It's hard to believe that Kinley is almost 4 weeks old and today is our due date. She's grown so much in the last 26 days...no more newborn onesies, no more newborn diapers, and she's getting some mighty nice thighs and cheeks! Her receding hair line is already starting to fill in a little better. She knows the difference between day and night. And when I hold her hands and pull her up to a sitting position, she keeps her head in line with her body. When she was born she weighed 6 lbs 12 oz. Today we weighed her on our food scale (in a salad bowl!) and she weighed 8.9 lbs. She is almost 9 lbs today!! I know that's not necessarily what she would have weighed had she been born today, but let me just say how glad I am that she was early! She was 19 inches long at birth, and today she is 21 inches long. She will be one month old on Monday. I wish I had thought to do this with Harper since she was early, too. I'm so glad Kinley came when she did, because the last 4 weeks have been wonderful. I love holding her, getting to know her, watching Harper step up as THE big sister, and driving to church with a full car...filled with our family.

Beautiful Girl!
