This post is specifically for my sister Jennie. Every time we talk she keeps asking me to post a picture of Leah next to something so that she could really see how big she is. This is due to my mother telling Jennie that she is such a little peanut. So here are a couple of pictures. This first one is of my friends baby Mason next to Leah. Mason was four weeks premature and he only weighs 11lbs now and is three months old. So this kinds of gives you that idea. In this picture he really does look huge but he is not that big. 
This next picture is of Leah next to her teddy bear. It is actually as big as she is.
Jennie this picture is of her sea horse that was on top of her diaper cake. I hope that this gives you some idea of how little she is.
So here is a little update. On Monday we went to the doctor and he put Leah on a heart and breathing monitor because she stops breathing and chokes when she is laying on her back. So they put her on the monitor at night in hopes that if she did start choking that Justin or I would hear her. Then on Wednesday Leah was still having trouble with choking so Justin and I decided to have Dr. Kwack take a look at Leah. Dr. kwack is a doctor that moved from SLC and Primary Children Hospital and is now the neonatal specialist here in Vernal and is now over that departmnet. So at the Doctor's office Leah weighed in at 5lb and 3oz. So she has gained a little weight since she was at the doctor's last. YEA. The doctor also has put her on some medications for her acid reflex, in hopes that it will help so that she does not keep choking on her spit or throw up. So things are looking better. Well I will keep you all updated on everything as we learn more.

HOLY HANNAH she is TINY!!! I love the teddy bear one. When she gets older, you can pick up that teddy bear and remember how little she was. WOW that's awesome!
Eli would look like a Giant next to Leah!! :) LOL Wish we lived closer so I could get a pic of them. Glad you guys are doing well and figuring out what is wrong with Leah. She sure is cute! Love you guys!
Leah is so cute! We can't wait to see her. She reminds me of Kaylee when she was born. Kaylee was also small--only 5 and a half pounds. I remember most of her 0-3 month clothes being gigantic! Kaylee also spent a little time in the NICU and had trouble with spitting a lot. Man, those days were kind of tough for us. I hope Leah's spitting and choking lessens soon, it's so much of a relief when they stop.
