the 48-hr weigh-in...
Since I went home early, we had to go back to the hospital so that Parker could have all the checks that they like to do at 48-hrs done. It was also a good chance to get a few more tips on how to do things more efficiently. We met with Rochelle, the good postnatal midwife that I had before. Parker weighed in at 3.255 kg (down 230 grams from birth), but weight loss of anything less than 10% is considered good. We were very pleased to know that he was at least getting enough to eat to not get us in trouble... She was happy with his color and told us we were doing a good job and that she was very pleased overall. Rochelle also watched me giving Parker a feed and gave us both a few more pointers on what to look for, what to do differently, and how to keep him awake. She also told us her working schedule for the next week in case we ever needed anything. Here are a few pictures from the adventure - Parker's second trip outdoors...

I'm not sure, Mary, but it looks like he is crying out for "Grandmaaaaa..." What do you think?
He sure is cute!
I love seeing babies in the Bjorn. He's so tiny.
Yes, I believe he is crying for his grandmas. One thing is for sure, he is even adorable when he is crying.
