Jaidyn's size

I promised I would post her size once we had her and I was better able to tell you. Well it is still difficult to say. She is very long so 0-3 is short if they are pants and onesies are a tight fit. However the waist of the pants I brought for the ceremony were almost 3 inches too big. The nanny kept trying to get me to get another pair but the other ones I brought were 3-6mo and I told her that was the smallest I had. Didn't think to pack preemie for my 7mo old although it would have been way too short. Today I put her in a 3-6mo outfit and the waist fit (the elastic was tighter) but again it is slightly short but she swims in a 6-9mo right now as far as pants in the waist although I think I will need to in the next few weeks put her in 6-9mo onesies and 3-6mo pants. So hope that clears up her size. Currently it just seems to depend on the outfit. Getting her to eat enough right now is a challenge. The most I can usually get her to eat is 4oz so we are feeding her every 3 hours or sooner if she is hungry. Although once today she ate almost 5oz and that was a milestone but the next feeding was 3 oz so we have a ways to go. Her stomach is just really small and so she can't hold much so we are trying to make up for it with frequent feedings. Guess I didn't get to skip the night time feedings. :) Jacob said he would help so I took pity on him and gave him the 5:45 feeding since we are getting up here by 5am anyway. She wouldn't eat for him so I had to get up anyway. Can't say that I mind though.:)

She's perfect! Don't worry about the amount she's eating, 4 oz is good! I'm so happy for you!
