The new normal

Over the past week we’ve gradually settled into our new schedule. Claire is doing well, having gained weight since leaving the hospital. She was 5 pounds 5 ounces this past week. Melanie is doing an amazing job of feeding Claire at least every three hours around the clock.

Claire is filling out (which you can see in the latest round of pictures posted yesterday). Her face is fuller, her limbs less scrawny and she makes eye contact on a regular basis now.
