Hi all,

Taking turns has been great, it is quite funny what an extra hour or two of sleep does for you. Elizabeth has been getting better, sleeping longer, eating more, we were quite supprised, she was supposed to be eating about 60 ml of breast milk, she seemed to bearly finish a bottle yesterday. Last night she goes though 90 ml which made us very happy.
Also she has been gaining weight now. I'll list the weights:

Hospital birth: 8 lbs 8 oz
left hospital: 7lbs 11 oz
Thursday morning: 7lbs 15 oz
Yesterday at noon: 8lbs 3 oz

So we seem to back hitting all the marks we are supposed to look for. Monday we head off to a clinic, for some more breastfeeding tips from a consultant. Elizabeth latches on, but just won't stay on for very long, or sometimes not at all. At least though she is getting the breast milk as she needs it.

Roanna is sleeping well, she took out Elizabeth this morning so I was able to get an extra shift of sleep. I am not to tired now, but we are all going to go down after the next feeding.

Tomorrow the plan is to take some laundry to the Grandparents, hopefully, Elizabeth will come with me, and Roanna can have a couple of shifts by herself in bed sleeping. We will have mild so she can feed at the house. Yesterday on the trip to the doctors, we feed her, she sleep, to the doctors at the doctors, up for the examination, and back to sleep for the trip home. She seems to nod off in the carrier anyway.

Talk to everone later.

Ian, Roanna & Elizabeth
