THUMB?I'm holding the little dumplin' as I type, so this will be brief. Suffice it to say that Meredith has discovered her hands and is not altogether thrilled. She's been kind of grouchy the last couple days and I attribute it to the frustration she's feeling as a result of not being able to jam her entire fist into her mouth. Equally frustrating is the unfortunate habit she has of clamping her thumbs tightly under her pointer fingers. Some part of her little instinct-filled self knows that there should be a lovely thumb there to suck on, but no one told the pointer fingers yet. Tough times for a 7 week old...
PEACEFUL HANDS

Kate, hopefully when she finds her thumb it will not become a 10 year habit. Not to worry, this is too typical for babies. They will indeed suck on their fist first, then fingers, then at last they will find contentment with the thumb. You will see her hold her hands outstretched in front of her face soon, trying to identify them as part of her anatomy. She has changed a lot in two months. That smile was so, so precious. Can't wait to hold her!!!
Hey Kate! We started our blog early to document the next 15 weeks before Nora arrives. Now I can comment on how sweet Meredith is!! I love seeing pictures and look at your blog daily to see how much she's changed. She's growing like crazy!! Love you!
