Just chillin'



Ella is now a gigantic 3 pounds 4 ounces (1470 grams). She is doing well on her feeds, but is still on the IV nutrition to help her continue to gain weight. She is drinking her milk from a bottle twice a day and drinks the whole feed about half the time, which is a start. Our little girl is becoming a big girl now and yesterday was chillin' with daddy while resting on the boppy pillow and soon will enjoy the swing that we bought her today. She enjoys sitting up in her bed and looking around if someone is talking to her (she wants to be the center of attention, just like any princess would) and gets bored in her bed. We were looking online for some car seats today because they have to put her in it and she must pass the car seat study before we are allowed to put her in the car and head for home(no irregular heart beats - brady episodes, and very little desating - oxygen going low). Our homegoing is getting close (I made up that word...hahaha) and we are excited about bringing our girl to Victoria.

Pray that she continues to gain weight and her broviac stays free of infection because we don't need any set backs.
