Old hat

Ella is now 2 pounds 8 ounces!!!(1120 grams) She is drinking from the bottle twice a day and so far drinks about half of what she eats over the hour, which makes her fuller faster and a little cranky(because her belly is full faster) but still growing. Her blood sugar levels are doing better just keep praying that they continue to be stable.

The chaplain of the NICU came by our little corner of the world today (he comes by and visits often) and we were talking about how we have now become old hats at the NICU spouting out the lingo like pros and discussing things like bilirubin, broviacs, Q3,CBC, ROP, etc...etc... The 11 weeks (can you believe it) that Ella has been in the NICU so far have been an education, and also an eye opening experience to see how far God has taken her and us, and in faith to see forward and know that she is going to have an amazing life that is built on the mountains that she has already climbed.
