If my digital scale is right, the baby gained around 1/2 oz today!

I just weighed her and the scale said 4 oz. And she's been making itty bitty teensy weensy biscuits on me, in her sleep.

It is amazing to watch such a tiny baby. Those tiny little claws are adorable.

I'm going to try and put her back on the heating pad for a while. My butt is getting numb!! And I'm thirsty.

Thanks for all of the reassurance and advice, today. Hopefully I will have a positive update, tomorrow.

1/2 an ounce sounds really good, I think. 3catwoman3 May 2024 #3

Does your scale do metric? Shelly Roche, the woman who runs Tiny Kittens out of Vancouver BC, does the weights in grams - easier to see the smaller increments.

And she's kneading! That must be so precious.
