Another good day

We, so far, have had another good day with Miss Charli. Like I said before we try to go to the 12 o'clock and 4 o'clock feeding/changings. These are usually best because it's way too hectic at the morning 8 o'clock because of shift change and the fact that the Dr. hasn't even seen Charli yet. Also, by the time we get there the nurse always has a morning report of how things are going.

Today she told us that Charli had a great morning and she was even sucking on her pacifier after her breakfast. So we did our normal routine of taking her temperature and changing her diaper. I love this time and getting to do those "normal" things for my baby. It really makes me feel like a mom :). Which, by the way, is the best feeling! The endocrinologist came by and looked at Charli and all her lab work and said that from her end everything looked ok. PTL. We would love to keep getting good news like this. Charli has had some labwork that has been up and down so it's great to see them leveling out. If I haven't mentioned it before we get to hold her once a day. Travis and I usually take turns every other day. He had a sore throat (no fever) so just to be cautious I got to hold her again today. What a blessing it is to have her in my arms. Those 10-15 minutes really make it all worth it. Although, if they would let me, I would sit there for hours. Moms, never take for granted holding your sweet babies in your arms!

All sacked out after her big lunch!

We called this evening to check on her at 9pm as usual and they have increased her feedings to 21cc! We are a third of the way to our 2oz. She weighed 3lb 4 oz tonight so she lost a little bit but thats ok because I'm sure she will gain more tomorrow.
