Yummy, Yummy for my Tummy

Mommy checked my weight today because people kept asking about my weight gain and she was surprised to find out that I only weighed 1lb 6oz. The doctor explained that this is normal and that all babies lose weight in the first few days. In fact, losing weight is a good indicator that my kidneys are working good to help get rid of some of the extra fluid that babies have at birth. As promised, Doc let me get a taste of Mommy's milk today. I started getting 1cc every 6 hours but progressed to 1cc every 3 hours by the end of the day. My digestive system seems to be tolerating the food, so everyone is happy.
