Happy Friday Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 2700 grams (5 lb 15.2 oz) today, down 39 grams (1.4 oz) from yesterday's weight. No big deal in the first 4 days of life -- it's just water.

I was fed 7 times yesterday and I took 5.0-10 ml at each feeding. I also tried to nurse 3 times. I received a total amount of 50 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 1.7 oz. Aside from breastfeeding, I nipple fed 80% of my intake. My last feeding was at 6 AM and I breast fed better.

So long Mommy and Daddy. I love the way your voice calms me.

Love you so much,
Carter
