We took Maegan home on Saturday, February 28, 2009. The first week or two was an adjustment for all of us. But my Mom was there to help from the beginning. And I was blessed with a wonderful husband. Nick is a wonderful hands-on daddy. He helps me give Maegan a bath and seems to enjoy it as much as I do. From the beginning Maegan has slept several hours at night and been pretty awake and alert during the day.

At Maegan’s first doctor visit she had not yet gained her weight back up to her birth weight. It was recommended that I give her formula at every breastfeeding. It didn’t take long to figure out that she didn’t like the milk based formula. We switched her to the soy formula her second week and she seemed to do better. She still has trouble with gas but appears to be a very happy baby. She is a very strong little girl. She was been holding her head of since the day she was born. And at four weeks old she started scooting on her belly. She hasn't quite figured out how to use her arms to crawl but she is so amazing.
