Katie does her job: she eats, sleeps, poops, and grows. Katie is now well over three pounds and almost twice her birth weight. Here’s a photo from a few days ago of Phyllis holding and embracing Katie:

There’s nothing more snoozy than having a warm, happy baby on one’s chest. I was holding Katie yesterday, she looked out with her bright eye, but soon we both fell fast asleep.

We are very pleased that Katie passed a follow-up brain scan the other day with no signs of PVL, something that in theory could have shown up at about this point.

Go, Katie Rose, go. Grow, Katie, grow. You are doing fine!
