1,004 grams
As you might know, hospitals (like 99 percent of the world) use the metric system.
Thus, when we ask about Abigail's weight, the first response is almost always in grams. They then have a chart to convert to pounds and ounces for us.
Abby has been hovering between 2 pounds and 2 pounds 3 ounces for about a week now. But, last night, she finally broke a metric milestone: 1 kilogram (1,000 grams). She's at 1,004 grams. For the record, that's just more than 2 pounds 3 1/4 ounces.
So she is starting to grow again, but the doctors are still wanting to see more progress in the next few days. In the meantime, they're messing with her feeding schedule and amount in an attempt to encourage growth.
Abby's still looking good and doing well overall.

Congratulations! It is important for you guys to relish each and every milestone, because even more than everyone else in the world, Abby and you and Katrina have gone through so much to see each one! We are thankful right along with you!!! :)
Hi guys. I'm so pleased to hear she's still gaining and thriving. We're keeping you in our prayers and I'm starting to look forward to when she can come home to you. Let's get together soon.
Love, Jennifer
