Our little girl is getting bigger by the day and is up to 5lbs 11oz and is 19 inches long! She is also measuring in the 15 percentile for her age for weight and height. I was told that some preemies aren't even on the chart so for her to be in the 15 percentile is great!
I met with the head nurse who caught me up on all the things that have been going on with Charlotte. She passed her hearing screening - good news! The eye exam that Owen talked about in a post was passed with flying colors - good news! She is up to 4 feeds a day by bottle - good news! Of the feedings by bottle, she eats about 75% before they need to finish via the feeding tube - good news! Charlotte still has not had (knock on wood) and breathing episodes that have needed intervention - good news! The nurses think Charlotte's Mom is so nice and laid back that they ask to watch over Charlotte - GREAT news! I know, I know, they say that to almost all the moms but it is still nice to hear!! :-)
I can't wait to get out little girl home so please continue those positive thoughts and prayers. Hopefully with a few extra prayers she'll be home by December. Thanks!!
What wonderful news! We can't wait until she's home either! I'm so happy everything is going so well! Keep up the good work Charlotte and mom and dad!
