Thank you everyone. We talked to them last night the baby was a bit fussy (he doesn't like to be changed) but what a beautiful sound it was. Janet

I had a wonderful mother in law.....she never gave advice unless we asked for it. I know she must have really had to bite her tongue not to tell me what I was doing wrong but she let my DH and I raise our children. I am trying to live up to the standards my MIL set. I trust my DS and his wife to raise their children in the best way they know how. I would say something if I suspected child abuse or sexual abuse but nothing else.

Thanks, Chisue! The dear little guy was here yesterday, looking as sweet and beautiful as ever. He'll be two weeks old tomorrow. He nurses well and goes through the usual amount of diapers, but the pediatrics office says he's not gaining enough weight to satisfy them. I hope they don't ask my DIL to give him formula. This is what happened with my first baby, and of course supplementing reduced my milk supply, so the breastfeeding didn't last long after that. Both my daughters were very low on the weight charts, resulting in frequent conflict with the pediatricians. Both girls grew up healthy and small--just like my stepdaughters, whose body types they shared. The weight charts don't seem to allow for much individuality, and when the doctor wrote Failure to Thrive on my healthy, active second daughter's chart, I was seriously angry. My son was high on the weight charts, so I didn't have any more battles with the doctors. Not about that, anyway. LOL
