2 pounds 11 ounces

Our girl is now 2 pounds 11 ounces (1230 grams) which is 3 times her birth weight(396 grams)....wow! Her feedings have been increased again (yipee) and she is still on the TPN (iv nutrition) so the weight gain should continue. Her oxygen has been lowered again and I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel...hopefully we will be off the canula soon.

Someone came by our corner of the NICU today and in the course of conversation asked when we were going home, and our response was "who knows." We have hopes for certain days but here in the NICU it's not a good idea to set your sights on a date because it can lead to disappointment...so...for now we are praying that it is soon.
