In addition to prematurity and hyperthyroidism, it seems something else is at work in the growth-restriction department. Input and outgo are both being tested for calories etc., and Sara's liquids are being supplemented with extra calories.

Today's weight: 3 lb 2 oz.

Meanwhile, Sara sat around with the family and told a few jokes on Sunday afternoon. Only four visitors at a time are allowed in the NICU, so she did two sets.
