6lb Sister!

It's official; Phoebe has now tripled her birthweight weighing in at 2724g (6lbs). She is just doing remarkably! On Friday she will 37 weeks gestation which is considered 'term' for a baby being born - she's is SO close to coming home. We just need prayer that she will continue to get her strength and energy up so that she can take all her feeds orally and that she has no desats.

Gracie had a great time with her this morning, and absolutely just absolutely adored her - this is so nice to see as they've had so little time together. This morning was the first time Gracie has had an unaided cuddle with her and they both loved it.

This evening we've had a great fun time playing settlers, eating chocolate and watching the Canucks (hockey team) win again with good friends Matt and Katie. Gracie made pizzas with daddy for us all...Adorable!

Hey famille Kinglsey-Smith - am lovin readin your blog - am so thrilled to hear news that Phoebe is about to come home! 6lb - that's fab - very similar weight to Ollie - he arrived a bit early (37.5 weeks) still term, but 5lb 15oz - am sure Phoebe will continue to thrive, and pile on pounds and will soon be playing with her big sister! Thinking of you all.
Best wishes - Sam, J, Lottie and Olliex
