Double Chin

As a follow up to a previous post about our adventures fattening up Moxie--she had a doctor's appointment this week and is gaining weight like a champ. The doc was quite impressed with Moxie's progress and the accuracy of Strider's infant scale.

See that double chin? We couldn't be more proud.

Rub A Dub Dub Moxie in a Tub

After Moxie's reptile style cord fell off we gave her a bath. She really enjoyed it. It was a four person adventure--Moxie being the star and the rest of us in supporting roles. It was really fun. She even peed in the water.

Catching some ZZZs

Before I go to sleep I just wanted to post a quick note about Moxie's badass dad and my super husband (who, luckily, are one in the same).  He is taking the midnight and 3am feedings tonight so I can have my first bit of sleep longer than 1.5 hours since Moxie's birth.  He is armed with 8 oz of breast milk, a pediatric feeding tube, and some pillows for the couch.  He's the absolute best.

If it ain't black, it ain't.

Moxie Eleanor Dorsey-Lee

We worked all day on Labor day and all we got was this stupid baby:

Baby Back Ribs on special!  Choicest Cuts available!
$1.49/lb with Club Savings Card (tm)
($2.19 regular)

As you an see from the Olympic Warm-Scale, she weighed 7 lb., 15.8 oz. at birth, which we also just call 8 lb.   As I'm sure you all know, the base of the Olympic Warm-Scale infant holder module is 50 cm, so you can also see that she was 21.5 in. in length, with a head/chest circumference of 33.5/32 cm.

If you haven't seen pictures of a newborn before, some of what you see may be concerning, but it isn't.   For example, the giant white stick protruding from her stomach is a handle for portability; you just don't see them used anymore because of the misinformation campaign perpetrated by the tyrannical monopoly of Ergobaby, inc.   Also, her sex is female.

Other anatomical questions are suppressed to maintain some level of decorum on this blog, but may be directed to Teresa Lee, because she will cut you if you say shit about this baby.

Finally, her APGAR score was 5 gold stars and a recommendation for knighthood.
