News: we were in for our 48 hour check this afternoon and Ada Ruth checked out just fine. Most babies lose about 10% of the weight after two days, which would have put Ada at 7 pounds. But she was at 7 pounds 8 ounces. Ahead of the curve!
Also, while we were there I asked for some surgical tubing to help with feeding. They actually had something which was designed specifically for the task at hand and thus armed we were able to cut her feeding time by over three quarters. She not only stays interested, the tube allows her to suckle at her own speed ... which is quite a bit faster than I'd originally estimated.
More reports to follow... distribute these pictures as you see fit...
