Happiness is Sleeping on Your Knees:
I guess I will always be curious as to why babies like to sleep on their knees. I've seen other kids do it before and yes, Ian likes to do exactly the same! He seems so perfectly happy doing this too. Ian lost 20g of that 120g he put on the night before, but no real issues here. His feeds will now increase by 1cc on Friday (to 4cc's each feed) so that should keep him happy and perhaps help the weight climb too. Mom had a good day as well, having had her second day of dialysis treatment. Barbara's energy level is beginning to climb so a few more plasma sessions should see her raring to get home next week.
