Five Pounds!

That's right, five pounds. Five wonderful pounds. No it's not how much weight I've lost, although I definitely could do with losing some. My niece Lilyan has hit the five pound mark (5 lbs 1 oz to be exact). It's one of the criteria the hospital uses to determine if she can go home. She also has to be bottle feeding normally, which she is. So chances are looking good that possibly in the next week or so, the baby gets to be in her very own crib in her very own portion of my sister's room. My sister couldn't be happier about how much weight the baby has gained and how quickly, as are we of course. So that's why five pounds is such a big deal.
