Are we done yet?!

So I haven't written anything about us leaving because we still aren't sure of the plan, but I guess I will share what is going on. We have known for awhile now that we were going to TIC, we just didn't know when. A few things had to happen first -stable with feedings and stable on the vent mostly. Well now that those things have happened we just want to get out of here! First they told us that we were going last week. Well someone got something mixed up and obviously we didn't go last week. So then they told us "sometime" this week. Well it is Monday and we still don't have a day. Apparently TIC only takes so many babies on ventilators and one of them is supposed to be leaving there this week and Fiona will be taking that spot. I guess they just don't know when that will be. It is very frustrating though just sitting around not knowing when we are leaving. The nurse just told us that they even said in rounds this morning that they are not really doing anything new for her, she is stable and ready to go and now we just have to wait for TIC to be ready I guess.


She is doing better with the bottle now. She is taking about 20 cc on average at each feeding. She gulps it down fast for the first few minutes and then gets too tired and stops! Or gets sloppy and it drips out the sides of her mouth. She graduated from the Preemie diapers to size 1 today!! Partly because she kept peeing out of the P's and partly because her little legs are getting so chubby that the diapers were getting tight on them. Oh and I keep forgetting to write her weight! She is up to 6 lbs. 15 oz!! I can't believe she weighs almost 7 lbs already!

I should have gotten her whole body because she had a cute little Valentine's Day outfit on! The shirt had little heart pockets and the pants had pink and read hearts on them. So cute!
