Tekla continues to amaze me on a daily basis. It seems like she gets bigger each time I look at her. This morning she weighed 8 pounds 8 ozs. 

ALso her physical abilities are really improving. She can now almost turn herself over. She has gained a lot of control of her head and neck and she is paying more attention to the world around her. All seems pretty amazing considering her adjusted age is just 3 weeks. 

When Greg came home from work yesterday he went to her and said hello, she immediately smiled. Seems like she is beginning to recognize us. All pretty exciting stuff as far as parents are concerned.

My good friend forwarded me your blog, knowing how much I would enjoy it! I am a homebirth midwife, doula, and childbirth educator, who has worked with all kinds of couples - gay, straight, bi-racial - you name it. I love to see loving, dedicated parents do whatever it takes for their families, and am so happy for the 3 of you! She is a beautiful, strong little girl, who is gifted with a generous birth mom, and 2 wonderful, loving dads. I wish all of you the best for your future as you plan to grow your family!

I still think Raven amazes me everyday [ and actually sit back and think that to myself ] and she's almost 3! Trust me, this feeling of absolutely adoring her and just being in awe doesn't go away!
