(1,939 grams or 4 lbs. 4.4 oz.)
Can you believe that I weigh 4 pounds 4.4 ounces? I am growing so big and strong. I am really flexing my muscles these days and have learned that I have some control over my limbs. Mom will get me all tucked in and just a few minutes later I have readjusted my position to the way I like it (one arm over my head and my legs over my bed roll). I am opening my eyes a lot these days and can follow Moms voice when she talks to me. She likes to move around and see if I can find her voice. I always do! Dad came down tonight and he and Mom gave me a bath. I still just get sponge baths since I have what they call a PIC line in my arm (a small tube that goes through one of the veins in my arm right up to an artery near my heart). I am SO excited because my PIC line is coming out tomorrow and then I can get real baths in a little tub that they roll up to my bedside. Mom and Dad can hardly wait. Without the PIC line it will also be much easier for Mom to dress me. After my bath, Mom and I went skin-to-skin and I loved it. While Mom was holding me, she and Dad hummed Christmas songs. I liked most of them, but what's with the "Twelve Days of Christmas?" I recommend not humming that, it gets a bit tedious. I did so well that Mom was able to hold me for almost an hour and a half.
