The Kraken

The Kraken sleeps for now. She's still a pretty sleepy little thing, but wakes to feed. Ha ha. Yesterday's pediatrician appointment put her weight at 5lbs, 9 ounces. The doctor was pleased to see she'd put on 9 ounces in a week.

One thing that's been coming up, hesitantly, as if the doctors don't want to put it out there, as if once it's said it can never be taken back, is a diagnosis of Failure to Thrive. I heard it first in the NICU, and once at the pediatrician's office. With the great weight gain of the last week, it's slipped back down into the darkness, and hopefully won't resurface. We don't go back until the 10th, for her 1 month check up.

For now my wee beastie will sleep and eat, and hopefully the darker days are behind us for good.
