Well the update on the baby - he was born 4lb 9ozs and went down to 4lb 4ozs the day he came home, today he weighs 4lb 8oz.... Candice was thrilled although he hasn&#39;t regained his birth weight yet.  He&#39;s eating like a Champ, but not loving to sleep at night, he prefers sleeping during the day  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />  He is still drowning in his clothes, even the preemie cap comes down over his eyes and the diaper comes to under his armpits&#33;  The most important thing is that the Dr. says he&#39;s doing good and it won&#39;t be long before he is gaining nicely.<br /><br />Well I picked up the last items for the Christmas dinner tomorrow.  Ours will be a little different this year, to include Candice&#39;s &quot;Nursing Diet&quot;.  So I&#39;ll be doing a Honey &amp; Brown sugar glazed Ham, mashed potatoes, roasted butternut, green beans with slivered almonds and a salad of baby romaine, apples and dried Cranberries.   I&#39;m doing a Tres Leche dessert plus real Christmas Cake with royal icing which I brought over from South Africa.<br /><br />Shaunna, have a wonderful Christmas girl... I can&#39;t wait for you to come back on the boards. Sending out (((HUGS)))<br /><br />Rose, just days and you&#39;ll be leaving.. I am so envious&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Ed, so glad to hear that you, Roe and Puff arrived safely, although quite stressed I&#39;m sure.<br /><br />Joey, what a fantastic gift... enjoy the game&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl, you&#39;re having the best weather to stay inside and cook up a storm for tomorrow... which I&#39;m sure you are going to do&#33;<br /><br />MaryLou, Congrats to Ashleigh and her proud grandparents.
