Time to eat!

Today was a big day because Miss Charli started eating again! Now she only started out 5cc every 6 hours but it's a good start. The doctors didn't want to start her back on too much in case there was still a problem with her bowels, but so far so good. I gave her the first bottle at noon and she sucked it down in less than a minute. Although it didn't seem like very much she was completely satisfied after because she smacked her lips and went right to sleep and pretty much slept until her next feeding at 6. Travis fed her that time and it took some work to get her to take it since she was still asleep but as soon as she woke up she did great.

The neurosurgeon came by and said that her head ultrasound for this week looks stable and her sutures in her head still feel ok so we are still just watching the cyst, no need to do anything at this time they say. What a blessing!

We also moved rooms today! We got to go to the other side of the NICU for the "better" babies. They needed a room on our side for a sick baby coming in and Charli was doing the best so we got to move! What excellent news to know that she is doing so good. Her vitals have been great since we got there, they seem to think her platelets are on the mend, and her cyst is stable. The only thing we are working towards is getting those bottle feeds down so we can come home! So everyone pray she will take here bottle every time so we don't have to get a NG tube again.

In other news my dad held Charli for the first time today. This is a huge step because he didn't even hold my niece for two or three months. Charli was fussy and needed to be held, so he did. See Charli always gets her way, and she knows just who is wrapped around her finger. :)

Charli and Mack

I know I always post the sweetest pictures I can find of our girl. Just so you guys aren't fooled and think she's all sweet all the time, here's a few pictures of her taking after her Mommy.

I know if I do this long enough she will pick me up..

No pictures please!

One last thing! Every one keeps saying how much she looks like Reagan, so I found a few pictures from when she was a baby. Does she look a lot like her when she was a baby? Let me know what you think!
