We don't have much to update today, not too much has changed. Victoria gained back 40 grams last night. We found out when we were there yesterday that they changed her isolette (the incubator bed she's in), so we think that may have had something to do with the seemingly extreme loss the other night, as the scales are right in the bed. Either way, as long as she continues the upward trend for weight gain, that's what counts the most.
We're getting excited that in the next few days I may get to try nursing Victoria, once the antibiotics are out of my system. I'm not fooling myself and thinking that it's going to go flawlessly, but really can't wait to experience breast feeding and getting to hold Victoria so close.
Every day we all grow stronger!

Great photo of Victoria. She looks so much older now, and can she be more beautiful? I know how much you are looking forward to the day you can breastfeed her. It might be slow, but even with full term babies there is some "learning" time needed. Keep getting stronger yourself and hugs to all of you. Love,Mom
She is just beautiful...I am thinking about you and your family! Love, Tina B.

She looks so darn cute and cuddly! I love how her hands are tucked under her chin and she's looking so precious. Where is the red hair coming from? Colleen
I can't believe how much that picture looks like Rod! She looks so comfy there. We'll take no news as good news anyday! We are in an ice freeze up here today! Take care1 Love, Mom (Penny)
Rod and Kris, your little girl is just beautiful and I pray that she will be home very soon to spend time with you both in your own environment.

I have my fingers crossed for you. If you need any Breast Feeding support call me. You know that I am a huge advocate and have lots of resources.It is an amazing experience to be skin to skin like that in the wee hours of the night.
Love,
