Happy One Week B-day Vaughan!
You have been such a good patient and a wonderful daughter. You were so at ease with all the tests the doctors ran on you and handled taking your blood like a pro.You have learned to eat every 3 hours graciously letting Mommy sleep some at night. You have gotten to visit with your Auntie Windsor and Grandma Lovette quite a bit and have even started to smile when they hold you. You have melted your dad's heart and he constantly tells you how perfect you are and calls you a princess. You are starting to hold your head up and even gained an ounce at your doctor appointment. On top of that you rolled over 3 times today  which makes me scared you are growing up too fast already. The doctors say you are in the 49th percentile in weight and 77th percentile in height. You have been our family's sweetest addition and we look forward to watching you grow in the future.

She is so beautiful and healthy! We are so glad that she made it home quickly and has been doing so well. We can't wait to meet the precious angel. In the meantime, try to get some sleep and enjoy every second of it. She will grow up way too fast!

Lots of love,
