A few people had questions/comments about how we weigh our babies so here is a step by step.
First we load the baby in a shopping bag. Here is Peter with two of our volunteers, Katherine and Kirstie.
And there he is. Peek a boo, baby!
Next we hang the bag from a fish scale. This gives us accurate weights so we can log tiny gains and (God forbid) losses. The bag has to hang freely but we keep our hands close to prevent any accidents.
And there you have it. Stay tuned for more wacky, out there solutions in the adventure that is my life.
Until next time, may God bless and keep you on your own personal adventures.

About Me
I'm an average girl--scared to death of creepy crawlies--who somehow ended up in the bush of Africa, building and running an orphanage. I now have 28 foster kids. In addition, I have a wonderfully adventurous husband and six kids. Due to the crazy passage of time, only one is left with me and five are working and/or in college in the U.S. Life is crazy, exciting, often scary and never, ever boring.
