Fattening her up for Christmas
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. To put your mind at rest, there seems to be little to worry about.
Yes, Katie is a lot smaller than the graphs say she should be and it is a concern, however she is still a happy contented baby who feeds, plays and sleeps well.
No one is really sure what the problem is (health visitor, GP and consultant all have their own slant on things), but the bottom line is she's not getting enough calories one way or the other. So for now we're topping up her feeds with expressed milk and we'll get her weighed in 2 weeks.
We do have some fun news for you - yesterday Katie giggled for the first time. Daddy and Katie were having some quality time together and Katie found him very amusing. It was lovely.

We'll keep the three of you in our prayers, but we're glad to hear that it isn't anything serious!
Good work getting Katie to giggle! I've been trying to make Gabriel smile for the last few days and just when I think he's smiling and it's not just gas, he noisily fills his pants to prove me wrong! Bring on the giggles!
