Christmas

I hope you all had a very merry Christmas! We've been having a wonderful time with our family members from near and far. It's great seeing how they all love her (almost) as much as Kirk and I do.

At the same time, it's been stressful since we found out last week that Ingrid hadn't been gaining weight and (at five weeks old) still wasn't up to her birth weight. I'm going in this afternoon to see if all the pumping, more frequent and careful feedings, supplementing, prayers, herbal remedies, etc... have paid off. Everything else in my life has pretty much been on hold while we work to fatten up our sweet little girl.
