I think she wants to come home...

Weight gain was 2lbs 14oz today!!! That's the biggest jump we've had so far! The 3lb mark is so close we can taste it.

All of her feedings remain the same and she's not on any medications at all. Her head circumference has been increasing but the doctors say it's right in line with what they expect since she's growing. We're waiting to see what next week's ultrasound shows but we are confident she will be ok.

At the suggestion of the nurses, we left a CD with classical music playing in her room and one of us talking to her and reading stories. She seems to enjoy it. :D We're also giving them a picture of each of us for them to tape to her bed so that she will see our faces more than the doctors and nurses and connect with us.

Day 45, here we come!

That was Spencer's birth weight. :love:

Have they said when they'll let Sydney start "practice" nursing? They called ours "non-nutritive nursing" sessions. At 32 weeks her suck should be about where she can start practicing. /nosey

Congratulations lil miss Sydney. Keep on doing what you're doing.

Niki, can you leave a lil Snoop Doggy Dog in the nursery too. Some of that stuff would make me grow up fast, and walk out of the bed to see what's really going on in the world ;o) I am so happy for you guys.
