Back to the Breast.
It appears I forgot to post Mikaila's weight gain yesterday. She gained 60 grams yesterday and another 35 grams today. She currently stands at 3 lbs 14 1/3 ounces. She is just 45 grams shy of 4 lbs! The real news today is that she made an attempt at breast feeding. During rounds, her team decided to test her breast feeding prowess once each day. Mikaila performed admirably today locking on immediately. After about 15 minutes we decided to give her a rest and fed her by tube. The nurse gave her the entire 35 mls (that's news as well as she had been at 32) by tube. Kim thinks she actually was able to summon a bit of milk during her breast feeding session implying that she had a healthy feast during her 2pm feed. That's about it. Kim may be posting a picture or short video.

so, we all know exactly how much Mikaila weighs. . .can you tell us how much she has grown? how long is she now compared to when she arrived? the current fatness will be even more impressive if we know how many inches (or centimeters, which ever you prefer, Dara) she is spreading it over.

This blog is just great....I love the videos, thank you Kim!...It means a lot for folks like me who are far away from ya'all :)
I do hope Mikaila will continue 'locking on' as there is nothing like Mommmy's milk.And it is convenient too....no washing bottles...no getting up in the middle of the night to make formula...all she has to do is 'lock on' and its rock'n'roll from there!!!...go Mikaila go!!!
Me thinks, little Mikaila is showing signs of a double chin. Pink is definately her colour. She's so adorable. What colour are her eyes??
