We're Getting Closer

Olivia continues to be a rock star with her feedings.  Every time I am there to nurse, she does great.  And tonight she took her first bottle from Daddy.  Chris' exact words to describe how it went were "Chug-a-lug!"  I plan on doing an overnight with her either tomorrow night or Tuesday night and see how she does nursing for a full 24-hour period.  This will tell us if she can handle all of her feedings orally, but it will also tell us if we will need to give her supplements of any kind through a bottle.  From what we have seen so far, she will be just fine and be able to come home soon.  We are hoping that by this time next week, Ms. Livie will finally be home.  She is up to 5 lbs. 8 oz. now and has developed some cute little cheeks.  Check out this cute bath picture from Wednesday evening.
