Weekend Update

Ok, I apologize for not updating much this week.  I could say it is a taste of what is to come when Sarah comes home, but that is not a good excuse. My excuse is I have spent almost all of my free time last week with Sarah, pumping and sleeping, while Roger has been trying to get better.  Enough about me..now on to Sarah.  

The baby girl weighs in at 2020 grams or 4 lbs 8 ounces.  She continues to improve on her bottle feedings.  We are having another conference on Sunday to review her progress and discuss her homecoming.  It is getting exciting folks!  We will update you on the results of the meeting either on Sunday night or Monday.  In the mean time, enjoy these pictures I took with the BIG girl today. 

Update: The meeting went well. Stay tuned for details on Sarah's homecoming, God willing, soon.

Sarah's beautiful face with no oxygen hose. I can't get enough of those cheeks.  

 She is getting a double chin! I LOVE IT!

Tuesday Update

Sarah is off her oxygen!!  As I said yesterday, she was doing so well over the weekend, they gave it a shot yesterday and she did it.  Sating in the 90's without any help!  Way to go girl.  She still needs a little bit of oxygen help when she is bottle feeding, but still not much.  This is HUGE people.  It means that the baby girl will be able to go out places without her oxygen and she will only need oxygen for eating time(not that I am planning on taking her anywhere after she comes home)! I am so proud of her.  I will post pictures of her beautiful face later.

MLK Monday

Sarah had a nice steady weekend of weight gain.  She weighed in at 1900 grams or 4 lbs 3 ounces.  She is getting used to taking the bottle a few times a day, even though, she has yet to finish the feeding on her own.  She has come very close a few times, eating 38mL and 36mL out of her 42mL on 2 separate occasions.  Her oxygen remains at the lowest possible setting without having it off .2 liters and room air.  Sarah continues to need a little extra oxygen to help her out when she bottle feeds so they leave on the canula's for that.  

On another note, Daddy isn't feeling well today, so he doesn't get to see Sarah.  We hope you get better soon.  I know how hard it is not to able to see the baby girl.  Even for one day it can feel like forever until you see her again.
