5 pounds!
It was just about two weeks ago that Elizabeth passed four pounds, and now she's just passed five. She's putting on weight at a good clip.
She's certainly eating enough. She's getting 60+ ml every four hours. This is the good stuff, delivered daily by the milk lady and fortified. She's getting it from the tap when she can, from the bottle when she's got the energy and from gavage otherwise. It seems like a lot of milk for that little tummy, and we've wondered if she isn't gaining too fast, but they're not concerned.
We were there for a bath lesson today. Neither of us had been there for a bath since she was born, so we were overdue. We've bathed babies before; there's nothing really different except that she is very small and loses heat very quickly.
Something else new... When she was very small I had noticed that she... well, she didn't have any butt. No buns at all. But now that she's putting on weight, she's starting to get a little bit of tush.
