Weight There’s More

Well Abby and Sara have been working real hard on feeding the last two days, and it seems to be paying off. Today in fact Abby won’t stop eating! She seems to be going through a growth spurt, and has already eaten about six times by the early afternoon. Yesterday we took her in to get her weighed and she had gained one ounce from two days before (up to 8 pounds 1.5 ounces). Today we rented a scale so that we could do the weighing ourselves, and took two measurements: Before a feeding at around 11:00 am: 8 pounds, 3 ounces After a feeding at around 1:00 pm: 8 pounds, 5 ounces So she is doing great. The big difference is that she is now holding food down and not spitting up. Unfortunately, this required an almost around-the-clock regiment of feeding, burping, and holding her upright. But it’s worth it to see her back up to birth weight. We’ll keep you posted! For now there’s no stopping her going back to 8 pounds, 8 ounces.
