great news! we have weight loss and weight gain! nova was born and weighed 7 lbs 5 oz, then dropped to 7 lbs 3 oz, then dropped to 6 lbs 9 oz and then by wednesday had dropped to 6 lbs 3 oz. we went on a little trip to the doctor today and she is back up to 6 lbs 14 oz! woo hoo! go super nova! it was a much needed boost! she is now on her new formula which is measured with a gram scale and is called "phenex-1" (sounds more like the name of an airplane, not a protein formula, but thats just my opinion......) the doctor said it would help her gain weight and to grow like popeye----i guess he was right. (our doctor is actually from italy and he is a little hard to understand and i thought that he said it would make her grow like eating papaya----i was later informed that i missed that part of the conversation.as far as weight loss goes, suzanne is also proud to announce that she can see her ankles after missing them for 4 months. not to great of news compared to nova's weight gain, but baby steps right?
also we took a little picture of of our family when suzanne is not in a hospital gown. we both look a little tired, especially nova----its hard to eat, poop, cry and sleep. its a very strict regime and i can't blame her for being pooped-----literally!
