Five pounds, four ounces!

I thought I'd use the quiet time I have tonight to update the blog. Trey took Grace down to the neighbor's house for a few minutes. I'd better type fast! Morgan has officially surpassed her birth weight today. She's now 5 lbs. 4 oz! They increased her feed amount yesterday to 50 ml. Her night nurse noted that she downed her first 50 ml bottle in 18 minutes! She was a hungry girl!

I had another appointment with lactation at 11:30 today and Morgan nursed for 25 minutes. She still took 15 ml of milk from a bottle when she was done! I have a feeling that she's going to gain weight rapidly! I spoke to the doctor this afternoon on my way home from Kyle, and she said it looks like another couple of weeks in the NICU. They want Morgan to be taking a full eight bottles a day before they send her home. It's disappointing news, but at least I will know she'll really be ready to be home at that point.

* A special thank-you to the Kaminskys, the meal you delivered tonight was incredible! We are so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful church family!
