Sofia models Grandma's cardigan

Grandma's card said 'The little cardigan I'm sending is so small - it seems a waste of time and effort...'

Hopefully this picture, with the rolled-up sleeves, will provide some reassurance that the cardigan will get plenty of wear this spring. Sofia is in no danger of growing out of any of her clothes, even the 5lb size ones.

Yesterday the midwife came and weighed her on some flash electronic scales. She still weighs 2.4 kg, the same as Monday, and 100g below her birth weight.

This is just the sort of thing that panics her worrywart parents so the main activity for the weekend will be feeding her, in the hope of a better result at the next visit on Monday. Apparently it can take 2 to 4 weeks to regain your birth weight, but we'd feel a lot better about it if her birth weight hadn't been so low in the first place.

Now we're just waiting for Dad to surface and make the promised buckwheat pancakes...
