Relativity
I visited Baby V for the first time since my discharge from KK.
Her weight then was 1160 gm, having shrunk after delivery, per normal expectations.
Her fingers were so long... then it hit me that it was because she was so skinny that she doesn't have the chubby fingers of other new borns
Her eyes were huge... and it hit me again that it was because her face was too thin.
Even though I had long comforted myself that Baby V is in a much better position than other smaller babies, it still hurts to see her so small compared to full-term babies...
I had to lean into E as tears flooded my eyes...
