November 19, 2008

Good evening!

3 pounds 14 ounces!!!!! We are nearing the four pound mark...woo hoo! It is so ridiculously exciting. After the past few months going so slow, and counting grams instead of ounces it is so odd to have things 'speed up' as of lately. We were told the unofficial weight limit for her to go home was at least four pounds. So we are hovering around the edge of it.

She is also being given every other feeding by bottle. This has only been in effect today, but she is doing well with it. She does struggle with waking up at night to take the bottle, but for now she needs her rest more than they need to wake her up to take it from a bottle. They will try to give it to her but if she seems too sleepy, they will just put it in her feeding tube. Before she goes home she will have to be nippling all of her feeds, but this is a step in the right direction! Baby steps are a good thing....

Riley and I had a fun day today. Our friends, Pat and Danielle were moving today so I watched their kiddos while they moved all their stuff. Riley played really hard today with Aidan and Ivy and I am hoping for a long night of sleeping (for both of us!). Speaking of which, I am going to go shower and head to bed...

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy and in love with life!
