This little girl is getting cuter every day. It's amazing how wide open she gets her eyes now. We took this picture shortly before we gave her a bath today!
Her feeding schedule has been stepped up. She will now get 4 mL of mommy's milk every 6 hours. This means the amount of nutrients she'll get via IV will decrease. She had her first 4 mL meal at 11:00 am. We'll see in a couple hours if she takes it. I'll let the suspense build until then.
What a doll--I can't wait to meet her!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh...what a change!!! Can't wait to get down there to take in the real thing!!! I love my grand boys, they are all quite handsome....but oh my...my grand girls are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYay Ellie! Mommy's milk is so good for you, and I bet you loved getting a bath from Mommy and Daddy!

Ellie, you are as beautiful as your mom!
ReplyDeleteHello Beautiful Ellie, Mandy & Ben.
ReplyDeleteWe have been praying and thinking of you everyday. It is so wonderful you are giving baths and getting mommy's milk.....it is SO good for you Ellie. Please know that we understand EVERYTHING you are going through since Kolden was born at 26 weeks, weighed 1 lb 7oz and was 13 in long. What a roller coaster ride it is.
Those nurses are amazing miracle workers and will become a wonderful first family. Please tell them the Ingels say HI!!!
"Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest" Joshua 1:9
She is so cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little face! Where can I get me some of those cute wrist bands?! Probably wouldn't be nearly as precious on me though!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the updates!
