Victoria gained 40 grams yesterday. As the next few days progress, her weight gain may slow down a little bit. This morning, the doctor changed the orders so there's no longer a minimum she has to eat. Prior to this, she would get 46 cc's (unless breastfeeding) - if she didn't take it all from a bottle, they would put the remainder through her feeding tube. Now, they're just leaving it at whatever she'll eat on her own is it. So she may be eating a little less until she gets the hang of it all. It also means no more need for the feeding tube! And check out the hair - getting redder and redder...

Looks like I have to sell our 3M (adhesive tape) stock :-)
Such great news. Thanks for everything yesterday. Especially to Rod for the extra effort (stress) of getting everything in order before the not so distinguished guests arrived.
Yes it was a fun visit, especially with your silly A.Susan and the girls in their pj's and slippers. Talk about a "casual" visit. It is such a delight to be able to hold Victoria. Once she's home, I don't think you should do anything else but hold and feed her ;) And I'd be happy to help with the holding part! Love and hugs, Mom (Busha)
Love those cheeks! Makes you just want to squeeze 'em and kiss 'em. She looks great and she sure looks happy. Probably glad to get those stinkin' tubes out. Take care, stay healthy. Colleen
She is absolutely precious! Yall are doing a great job!
