Family day!

Today was a wonderful day because Reagan finally got to meet her little sister Charli! Sunday is family day in the NICU. Reagan got to watch us change her diaper and take her temperature and help weigh her. She was so helpful and sweet and did everything we asked her to, even helped us calm her down after the dreaded diaper change. She loves her so much and was not even scared or nervous with all the beeps and wires!
As for Miss Charli, she is doing great. Still gaining weight and getting her milk intake increased. She is now up to 3lb 6.6oz- up 2oz from just yesterday! They called this evening and said they are increasing her intake to 17cc (from 13cc yesterday). The Dr. also said that she should come off the oxygen in 5-7 days. That would be a wonderful thing because they can move her feeding tube back to her nose so she can start sucking on her pacifier, which will get her well on her way to bottle feeding! We also got our first family photo today :)

Just a few more pictures until tomorrow:
