Packing on the Pounds (err.. grams)

From Chris again....

At last night's weigh-in, Luka broke the 2 kilogram barrier tipping the scales at 2.015kg (4 lbs 7oz) - up a whopping 122 grams from Thursday.  As great is it was to hit a milestone and see evidence of his continued health, joining the 2kg club also meant that we could change his feeding schedule from every 3 hours to every 4 hours.  The extra hour means he's more likely to get hungry between feeds and, thus, be more keen to breastfeed.  And, of course, once he's breastfeeding well we're a lot closer to going home.  

Tomorrow is his 3-week "birthday" and every day he's getting stronger and better-looking (must be taking after his dad).
