Gaining weight

The good news is that Janel has continued to feed fairly well and gain weight – she is now 2.4 kg (5lbs and 5 oz in old money). The not-so-good news is that she is still a little yellow, so while Nicole has been discharged by the community midwife, they still want to keep an eye on Janel for a little while longer. They will visit again on Friday and if she has gained another 50g by then (2oz) they will discharge her as well (as long as the colour is no worse). Meanwhile, I have stepped up to the plate of the 3am feeds with mixed success – one good feed and one not so good.


In other news, independant witnesses have once again confirmed that Janel is simply gorgeous.


Lastly, we received a gift (a pink baby outfit) from Littlewoods some time ago, but there was no name attached, so we don’t know who to thank for it – if it was you, please drop us a line.
Lots of love, GNJ
