Today Loki officially reached five pounds. In fact, he is that plus two ounces, or 2325 grams.
Mom continues to be very diligent, dedicated, and persistent with practicing breast feeding. Although in the morning he did not respond much, in the evening he was quite active. Also then, Loki was weighed before and after breast feeding, in order to try to measure how much milk he got. The result? Four milliliters! Granted, that's not much, but it is an important start.
In another encouraging sign, I noticed in a statement from the hospital that Loki's care was stepped down from Level 3 to Level 2 on December 28. He previously went from Level 4 to Level 3 on November 19. He'll go to Level 1 around the time that he receives no breathing assistance.

Dat gaat de goeie kant op jongens! Ongelofelijk waar zo'n wurpje toch maar toe in staat is - niet in de laatste plaas dankzij de enorme toewijding van Mom en de onmisbare steun van Dad - jullie heben de hemel verdiend, echtwaar.
Loki is nu (bijna) net zo zwaar als Marieke toen ze bijna een maand te vroeg werd geboren, 40 jaar geleden!

Well, that is a "milepaal" and a half! I am so happy for you, a lot of good news in one message! He's got the best care with you two and the staff. X Fransje.
wouw, Loki weegt net zoveel als wouter toen hij geboren werd, geweldig ik ben trots op jullie alledrie.
liefs van Greet
Nog eventjes Loki, en dan komen we jou en je ouders een applausje geven!
