Friday morning

Sarah weighed in at 1580 grams last night. She's over 3.5 pounds!

Sarah has been amazing over the last week. Her oxygen requirements are now almost non-existent, and she is consistently on regular air (21% O2). They probably could take her off breathing support, except she does need a little boost when she's bottle or breast feeding...that's right folks, we have begun breast feeding!  We tried Wednesday for the first time and Sarah seemed to like it.  It is very slow process but I think she is catching on.  The second attempt was better than the first and we hope it goes up from there...
