Day 12 of bonding








Tamara and
Zhanna









Zhanna discovering
herself in the
mirror--and liking
what she sees!






Today was day 12 of the official 14 day bonding period. It has really gone very smoothly--no problems so far. Not too much to report today, but thanks to Lynn I have the conversions on Zhanna's measurements. She was born at 37 weeks, and weighed 2900gms, and was 47 cm long. Upon entry to the baby house, at 6 days old, she was 47cm long and 3010 grams with a head circumference of 33cm, chest 32. In January she was 64 cm with a weight of 7000grams, head circumference of 40.5 and chest 41.5. In February, her weight is 7250 gms, height 65.5 cms. Okay--all of you knowledgeable people, where does she fall on the scale? I found one here but it is for boys. Any problems I should be aware of? The doctor assures me that she is very healthy.
I have fixed the email problem, and seem to be able to send emails again without an error message. Of course, it is the middle of the night there so I can't test it. Will see in the morning if they were recieved correctly. It was something to do with outlook express, so, anyway, I think I have figured it out. Thanks again for all the support and emails--it means a great deal when I have the whole evening ahead of me with no television and only a teddy bear to talk to!!!
