Zoë Calamity: The last word in little girls.

We took Zoë into the doctor’s today to be weighed, and she’s HUGE! She was born weighing 7 lbs 9 ounces, and today, a week later, she’s at 7 lbs 12 ounces. It can take up to two weeks for babies to get back to their birth weight, and she’s managed it in a week. We’ve decided this is because she was a week late, so she’s rushing to catch up. The nurses say she’s doing fantastic, and are really pleased with her eating. And so am I, because they’ve given us the go ahead to let her wake us up at night when she wants to eat, instead of us waking her up every three hours. And that is a beautiful, beautiful thing. I was really kind of worried that the breastfeeding would be difficult or a problem, but we’ve been really blessed that she’s caught on so quickly. Go go Zoë, eating machine!
