Those little cheeks are filling in and as of this morning she tipped the scales at an impressive 4 lbs 9 oz. She is more and more alert and aware everyday and we are just loving her like crazy.She is doing great. She needs to be able to get all her nutrients from nursing (while keeping her glucose level stable) and also be able to regulate her temperature in an open crib before we can take her home.
While nursing has continued to get better and better, her glucose levels have dipped a few times the past couple of days. They always rebound, but she needs to keep those numbers consistently high before she can go home.
She is really close to being moved into an open crib. Hopefully by tomorrow she will be out of her box.
Not yet two weeks old and she is already annoyed with her parents and the camera. She'll just have to deal with it.

I really hate to use this word--but that picture with Brian and Ellie at the top is PRECIOUS. Ahhhh, so cute.
I hope you'll be able to go home soon! Angie
Oh my goodness Emily! I am so behind on all of my 'blogging' and just read everything you and your family have been through! Doesn't it make you so grateful for modern medicine? We will be praying for you and your beautiful little girl.
