Day 42

Another day of weight gain! She weighed in at 3 lb 7 oz last night...almost up to the 3 1/2 pound mark. She accomplished another first today--she has eaten 4 full bottles in a row and then nursed for 10 minutes during the last feeding. The head neonatologist stopped by today to tell me how well Brynn is doing. It's strange, but you still get that little feeling of pride whenever someone tells you your kid is doing something good...even if it is just gaining weight and eating bottles! She told me that they don't usually send babies home until they reach 4 lbs but I was actually hopeful after talking to her that once again we might make it home before our due date. So, the roller coaster continues.

We've been on vacation and just got back and was so glad to hear that Brynn has put on more weight! I know you are anxious to get her home but God does things in His own time. I know it must be hard to be patient but He knows what's best for her right now. Her progress is evidence that He is answering our prayers.
