Apparently, all babies lose weight after being born. Well, preemies are no different. Jack weighed 1001 grams when he was born, but on Tuesday he was down to 890 grams. Its normal for a preeemie to loose between 10% to 20% of their weight, so we weren’t too worried. He also broke the all important 1000 grams barrier which gives him a much better prognosis than many of the micro-preemies in the room with him.
They weigh him at the end of every day, at around 10:00pm. Today, we happened to be visiting him when it was going down. He came in a 908 grams, a slight increase from the day before, so we were psyched about that.
Now, he is nekked in this video, so don’t look if you have never seen any man-parts.
Also, you can really get an idea of just how tiny he is, notice Sarah’s hand is in the top of the frame.
Sarah edited to add: apparently all premature babies look like little old men. That’s what our boy looks like right now, an exceptionally cute old man.
He’s beautiful! Thank you so much for posting the videos and pictures so I can worship him from afar. Love to all of my cousins! xxxxxxooooo
