8 Weeks

Today was an amazing day! It's so hard to believe that our princess is already 8 weeks old. She still amazes us and today was no different. Today she was moved to an open crib. She is doing so good at holding her temperture.

The hospital was booming today, they admitted two sets of twins and a set of triplets! It was a crazy day, you could just tell watching the nurses. SOO, since Miss K was doing so good she was moved again. At our hospital the NICU is split into two sides, north and south halls. South is the "good" hall, this is the hall that all babies want to be, this is the "going home" hall. It's the last stop (if all goes well) before home. AND Miss K was moved there today. She was the most stable one, so she was next in line to move over. We are so excited. Bringing her home got a little more real today.

She is still on 43 cc. They've been working on the bottle, but she's not wanting nothing to do with it. I know it's learning something that she shouldn't have to learn for another 5 weeks, but it is something that we have to do to go home. This is our prayer today. She has also been on Lasix for the last few days to help with her oxygen levels and to get any excess fluid she may have. Tonight she is 3lb 12 oz, but this is more of her true weight. She is doing amazing!
