Here’s the deal: she ate twice off Trine today, and almost certainly could have had dinner off her had Trine been there. (The 7pm weekday feeding is still mine, and I don’t offer much in the way of milk.) Not only is she off the monitors and feeding off her mother, though: she weighed in at 2205 grams today—that’s 4.9 pounds!
And I even got a picture tonight just so farmor could see the fruits of her labors. (The hat is still a little too big, and we don’t want to leave such a nice blanket with her in the hospital, but they should both be lovely once she comes home!)
Greg,
THANK YOU for letting me see Molli with the hat and blanket. It was so sweet of you to do that instead of just saying it had arrived!
the hat seemed so little, it’s hard to believe it’s big on her but it gives me an excellent idea of her size! She looks so cute in it. Makes me feel very pround and warm and fuzzy all over.
It’s wonderful she suckled twice today! Congrats – the girl is movin’ right along at a great rate. She’s gaining weight nicely too.
Yesterday I picked up a roast that was her weight – it really clued me in on how small she is.
Keep up the dialogue – we all love getting your thoughts and feelings on your new parenthood and beautiful, wonderful Molli.
Love you,
Mom
Greg, I must say I really enjoy the pictures and videos of Molli! It’s hard being so far away from you all, but seeing the pictures of her almost every day lets us all see how well she’s doing, and how she’s getting bigger and stronger. THANK YOU!
