Dad gets a cuddle

Another weekend, another visit by Dad. I normally only seem to get to see my new wee girl on the weekends. I've made a few mid-week trips, but they end up being late in the evening and a PITA. This is OK with me as long as I get reports from Mum's daily visits, which I do.


Mum missed a visit yesterday. She's had a sore throat, hence the mask in this picture. (Better safe than sorry)

I got to have a good cuddle after this, which I haven't had for a couple of weeks. The wee girl is certainly more substantial than the last time I held her, and she's starting to fill out her sleeper. She's been eating well and is up to 2189g. (4lb 13oz)

They're giving her a bottle at every feed now, or trying to, and Mum is attempting to breastfeed every day. If she's awake, she feeds pretty well. She had to be taking bottles or boobs consistently before she can come home. No gavage feeding at home!
