Two Weeks!

Madeline celebrated her two week birthday yesterday. She's continuing to do well on the ram cannula and her feedings are up to 2.5 mLs per hour. The goal number is 6 mLs per hour and once she's there, she'll be off the IV nourishment altogether. Her weight is allllllmost up to one kilogram (990) and I'm betting she'll be there today.

We got to hold her again yesterday but we got the news that she's off skin to skin for a few weeks (zero cause for alarm, just the doctors being cautious). Despite our preference to do kangaroo, this really isn't the end of the world as getting to hold her swaddled up is actually more fun. Getting to see her eyes, I can tell her nervous system is starting to get a little stronger as she's tracking movement and keeping her eyes in sync without getting cross-eyed. She continues to be exceptionally feisty as we expected .

Here are yesterday's photos:
