Here they are on their six-month
birthdays....

6 Months

Well Miss Rachel had her six-month well check last week. She is doing great in all categories. She is long for her age/weight and still on the charts for weight. The appointment was almost a week early and that made me nervous. We need all the time we can get. Then we had to wait for almost an hour just to be seen (this ran her all the way up to feeding time)...then they weighed her on an empty stomach. We could have used those 6 or so ounces...but alas, she came in at 13lb. 4oz. This keeps her on the charts for weights, but she dropped to the 25th percentile. I struggled with this idea for about a week. Why? Well, I was hoping for more. Why? That I am not quite sure. If the number would have been bigger would I have felt she was more healthy? No. Would I have felt she was more advanced? No. She would still be the same sweet, healthy, girl that she is right now...just a few o-z's bigger. I have since let go and thanked God above that I have two healthy children. I also pray daily that he will take this burden of always hoping for more instead of being grateful for the amazing gifts that He has given. Oh and for posterity's sake she was 25 3/4 inches long.
