More updates!




















Hi, All,

Here's a few pics (above) and some vital stats: 
  • Weight: Ms. Bea is weighing in at a wopping 4lbs, 2oz; a full pound and a half heavier than her lowest measurement. 
  • Length: Can't recall the Champ's exact reach, but she's very normal for her size. What else do we need to know? 
  • Food: Bea tried a little breast feeding this evening. Didn't get much, but it typically takes awhile before preemies are able to get their food directly from the producer. We'll keep you all posted. We know she's got the instinct, as she took a full 30 cc's from a bottle yesterday. 
  • Hygiene: Ms. Bea would like her fan club to know that she's smelling nice and sweet after a very pleasant bath. She really enjoyed herself.
That's about it. I'm probably forgetting something, but progress is now slow, steady, and possibly even a bit boring, which is just fine with M&D. 

All the best,

Team Beatrice (Ian)

Hi, I stumbled on your blog by accident, from my friend's blog that was before that. I wish you and Beatrice all the best and am so happy she is doing so well. Having two kids myself I know what joy she brings into your hearts and lives. Go Bea!
Kindest Regards,
Mariya
