Santa visits the Nicu




Santa came to the NICU today to take pictures with the babies and Ella wins the award for best outfit which I bought at the Build-a-Bear workshop(the contest is only in my head). : ) She was Santa's favorite elf.

She is still 3 pounds 1 ounce but gained 20 grams (1400). They raised her feeds to 22cc over an hour and we now work with her bottle feeding twice a day. The bottle feedings are going well but hit or miss, sometimes she takes the whole feeding and other times just a few cc's. It's a start.

Today was a busy day for our elf and she is currently crashed out in her bed. Pray that her feedings at the new level go well and she continues to grow.
