> Our 6th grandchild (second girl!) arrived at 3.03pm on Sunday July 11th,
> 2010.
> Rachel Lucia  (Rachel Shulamit) was born at home, a waterbirth, after
> a three hour labour and very easy birth, with the help of midwife
> Michele Doyle. It was a privilege to be present at this wonderful
> event.
> 3yr old Jonah was thrilled with his new baby sister.
> Rachel is nursing beautifully and her mama is radiant.

> Now for the interesting bit :)
>
> Rachel was 7lbs 12oz at birth.
> The next day, at the doctor's office, she had lost a whole pound (now
> 6lb 12oz). The doctor (an IBCLC!) was puzzled, but got the same weight
> on a different scale, and said the baby looked fine and not to worry,
> but have the midwife check her again .
> The following day when the midwife called, Rachel had gained an ounce
> (now 6lb 13oz) and has continued to gain steadily ever since, over an
> ounce a day.
> So, where did that pound go? She definitely lost it - you can see from
> the photos. In the first 24 hours she had 1 pee and three tarry poops,
> but, not a whole pound's worth!
