This evening Gabrielle is 6 lbs 5 oz. She and I spent most of the day together while Jen attended a continuing education conference in center city. The baby kept me busy! Although we've been concerned about her hearing, her vocal cords are sound. By the way, her recent hearing test found a normal response in the left ear, but the right ear will require repeated testing. Gabrielle responds to loud noises in a normal way, and we are not overly concerned about the upcoming hearing tests.
