Lucy gets weighed everyday. After being born at 690 grams, her weights for each of the next 7 days (all in grams) were 730, 580, 560, 620, 650, 670 and 650 (today). The little fluid spike on the second day is followed by a dramatic drop as she literally dried out under the phototherapy lights. She's getting back up to her birth weight now, and the fact that she's started feeding (initally 1mL of breast milk six-hourly, and now the same amount every two hours) should give her weight a small continual boost. Looking forward to when she joins the Big Girl Club - open to all bubs in the unit once they crack the big 1-K-G.
Oh yeah, and after Robs' first cuddle yesterday, this evening it was Daddy's turn. Yep, it was awesome. And thanks to Nanna, this time we had a camera...
What an amazingly precious photo. Following this Blog religiously and look forward to hearing Lucy becoming healthier and chubbier as the months go on.
