2 Months!

Sorry for the delay in posting Hailey's 2 month pictures. We had a camera malfunction and are temporarily borrowing one (thanks dad and mom G). At 2 months Hailey loves to crack smiles, especially at mommy. She can roll over from her tummy to her back making tummy time a challenge as we can't keep her on her tummy! After sucking on her fists for awhile she finally found her thumb which she enjoys. At her 2 month check up she weighed 10 pounds 13 ounces.

We have learned how "different" Hailey is from Drew at this stage. When Drew turned 2 months he still had another 20 days to spend in the hospital. At 2 months Drew weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces. He still was on oxygen, an apnea monitor, and had a feeding tube.


We know that we truly cannot compare our 2 children because they both entered the world in very different circumstances, but it is impossible as parents not to notice and appreciate the good health that Hailey has been given and makes us sad at the same time to see some of the things we didn't get with Drew, such as all the snuggles we get with Hailey while holding Drew was so limited for so long. BUT...regardless, we are so blessed to have Drew and Hailey here with us today, no matter what differences they have, they are both fulfilling God's plan for them.
