big william's world

For the first shopping trip of R's life yesterday she wore her best
dress. Because she was a couple of weeks early we were advised to keep
her out of public places. She slept through most of the trip and the
shopping. She is feeding about every three hours and has gained a
pound since leaving the hospital almost a month ago. Yes, as some
cynics predicted, we are feeling a little sleep deprived but nobody
complains much because the rewards far outweigh such minor
inconveniences
She is supposed to gain an ounce per day now but we won't know until
next Monday if she has.
Our kitchen scale only goes up to 5lb (2 kilo) and our efforts to
weigh someone holding her and then not holding her on the bathroom
scales, are not accurate enough.
Daffodils are finally "fluttering and dancing in the breeze" (words of
another William) and the weather is warm enough not to need the heat
at the moment. I am well aware, however, that it could snow in May
