Almost back to birthweight
It's Day 10 for Imogen now, and she's just had her first weigh-in since birth.
Pleasingly, she weighed 7lb 13.5oz, in other words she's almost back up to her birth weight of 7lb 14oz. (For those unfamiliar with newborns, they typically lose between 10 and 15% of their weight in the first 5 or 6 days before they start putting it back on again, normally reaching their original weight somewhere between 10 and 17 days I think). So, that shows she's feeding just fine thankfully!
By the way, her umbilical cord came off last Thursday (30th December, day 6).
