EIGHT Weeks Old!!!

Miss Thang weighs 3lbs 11.5oz! 8 weeks seemed so far away when we started this journey and look, here we are. God is awesome.

She's trying to learn how to keep breathing effectively while receiving her feedings and having some slight difficulty with it. One week ago she was eating 24ccs over 1.5 hours and now she's at 32ccs over an hour. It's quite an adjustment for someone her size so she's trying to figure out how to handle it all. In the meantime, they increase her oxygen support while she eats and turn it back down when she's done. Please pray that she continues to improve and figures out how to do both things at once.

Today she gets to meet her maternal grandmother and she told me she's VERY excited! ;)
