Just a quick update

Daddy and I are both still trying to catch up on the sleep we lost over the past month... Not too successfully, I might add. Everybody says we should sleep now, before Victoria comes home. But Rod's got to get readjusted to working nights and sleeping days, and I can't sleep much anyhow. We'll get it figured out eventually, I'm sure!

Weight updates: Victoria's weight was up to 3lbs, 1oz last night, and stayed the same tonight.

Her feedings seem to not quite sit so well with her belly today, but it might all just be too much too quickly. They'll get that delicate balance figured out soon, we're sure. I was at the hospital earlier when Dr. Chai made his rounds, and he's just as wonderful as ever. If ever there were a group of doctors who really seem to earn the money they make, it's the neonatologists in the NICU. He really takes the time to make sure we're completely comfortable with everything that's going on, explains why he's doing what he's doing, and at the same time, tries to prepare us for what might be going on when it's time to bring Victoria home.

Today's camera shot:

Oh my goodness look at those precious little fingers! What a miracle! I'm glad things are going well...another 10 oz. is a great thing! Sounds like you 3 have a wonderful medical facility...when do they think you'll be able to bring Victoria home?

I remember that Elijah had difficulty keeping his feedings down and doctors said he had reflux. Once they treated that he put on the lbs and hopefully Victoria will do the same. Big hugs to all of you. Busha
