Day 22

I was feeling kindof anxious when I walked in. Yesterday Rachel's weight was at 1.455kg, will she go beyond her birth weight today?

Rachel looks different and nicer today. Ah.. The patch to monitor her jaundice level has been taken out. Now I can see Rachel's face in full. Until I had fu, I was skeptical about what my colleague told me, that your own child will always look the nicest. After fu came, I started to use her words as if they were my own, that your own child will always look the "beautifullest", I cannot help but marvel at how beautiful Rachel looks. This beautiful little baby is mine! How amazing. Look at how dainty she looks with her hand below her chin. :)

I looked at the TPN drip rate, hmm.. Still 5.5mL/h, that means they probably did not increase her milk feeds. Soon, the nurse came to update me. Rachel did not put on any weight from yesterday to today. It's ok, she will when she's ready..

Wt: 1.455kg
