Well tiny Heidi has regained and exceeded her birthweight!
At birth she was 730g and she dropped down to 670g which was within normal range. She crept back up to 690g and hovered there for about 5-6 days and today she is 765g! A whopping 35g about birth weight. What a fatty! LOL
We shared a lovely long cuddle yesterday, almost 2 hours we sat together soaking eachother up - there truly are no words to describe that feeling. I'm hoping to get some more this afternoon when we head back in to visit. They'll be recommencing her feeds 6 hourly today to give her tummy some time to adjust to receiving EBM.
Divvy - I laughed out loud about 'chocolate' and 'caramel' I keep thinking to myself I need to give the 'girls' some names to help cheer them on. Not sure whether its been the cuddles or just time and a bit less stress, but I'm getting a tiny bit more at each expression now which is reassuring for me.
Thanks again for all your wonderful words of support, means so much. DP & I are off to the hospital together tonight which will be nice, we've been doing it in shifts all of this week, so it will be nice to have him by my side.
