Growing Like A Weed!!

Wow it is crazy to see how fast Lucie grows! Two nights ago she was at 3lbs and 6oz and now tonight she is at 3lbs and 12oz! That even suprised her nurse!! She is doing so good. She is still on the high-flow nasal cannula like I said last time but they are now going to start lowering the amount of oxygen support to see if she can handle it. She is also old enough to start learning how to breast feed, so tonight they had me pump and then try to nurse so she could practice. Of course she did fabulous and did exactly what they wanted her to.
This week has a chance to be a big week for her. She is now at the age where she should start to began regulate her body temp on her own. Which means that she can start to wear clothes and be moved to a crib!! Then there is also the learning how to nurse. Both of those steps are huge because they are two of the goals she has to meet to be able to come home. When exactly that will be we still don't know, but if she can get over these two hurdles we will be just that much closer!!
Until next time!...
