well, its saturday and callie grace is doing wonderful!! shes in the room they call "continuing care" and this is the room that you stay in until you go home. so thats a step up from the critical room she was in!!
each night at bathtime, we get to weigh her and today her weight is at 4lb 5oz... her original birth weight!! She was as little as 3lb 13oz! So shes doing great!!! Shoot, she gained 8oz in the last 3 days!! GOOD GIRL!!
shes doing really good on her feedings and just really making us proud! the dr's are hoping to remove her feeding tube tomorrow or sunday. (she only has her feeding tube incase she has trouble with feedings, which isn't very often!) the dr said she COULD go home as early as Tuesday but definately by Friday! OMG our girl is coming home!
the nurse was telling my mom that even when Callie does get to come home, shes going to have to stay at home and not many visitors. her immune system is going to be weak because she is a premie and have to take it easy. our little girl is delicate!!! but just to be able to hold her AT HOME will be awesome!
craig has been awesome. i feel so bad for him because ive never seen him so worried before. not only about Callie, but also about me. on top of trying to make sure Cole doesn't feel neglected or pushed to the side. hes got a lot on his shoulders. he looks drained. poor guy. he's planning on coming home tomorrow for a few hours to watch the Steelers game.. I think he needs some alone time. Bless his heart.
all in all, everything is going well!! no setbacks and we'll be bringing a baby girl home!!! =)
thanks for your support!! we love you!
