Well, another week has passed by, which means we are one week closer to bringing her home!! Tiffany is doing GREAT!! One little set back – and it’s nothing to big, when they weighed her last Sunday, the nurse gave me the wrong weight – her actual weight was 3lbs 6oz. Darn. So when they did her weight last night she weighed just a smidge under 3lbs 9oz. I was hoping she would have been bigger, but, oh well.
But back to the good news. She no longer has a feeding tube and is eating like a mad women (she gets that from my side of the family). They feed her every three hours by bottle, and they are doing what is called an “at will” feeding. Basically, they fill up the bottle and let her eat as much as she wants. So far she is doing great and eating the amounts she should!! It’s so nice to have a daughter that doesn’t have tape on her face or tubes down her nose!!
The nurses have again told me that I need to get the CPR class done, get the car seat, and they have made contact with her pediatrician so when she goes home, Dr. Bruce knows what is going on. I purchased her bassinet last week, a bag of preemie diapers, and some diaper wipes, and they are all sitting in my room waiting to be used!!
Oh, her length, she is 18inches long and she is starting to chunk up (well, as much as a preemie would).
Thanks for ya’ll thoughts and prayers. We really appreciate everything!!!
