Back To Blogging

I think this is the first time that I (Mere) have blogged since having Layla. Joe always seemed to have a lot more time on his hands when we were staying in the hospital so he was always the one that updated it. I still don't have much time (I haven't been taking my computer to the hospital and the computer at the hospital wasn't letting me send emails today or blog), but wanted to quick update.

Joe went back to work today so it was just Layla and me all day:(. I'm not sad to spend time with Layla, but I miss having Joe around! I'm sure it was just as hard for him to not be with us all day! Layla still hasn't gained any weight (her weight was down just a tiny tiny amount tonight), so pray that she gains weight. Her bilirubin went up today so she may need to have the light back on as well as her Zorro mask tomorrow. Other than that she is doing very well. They removed here IV last night so at least she doesn't have her paddle anymore! She again took part of her feedings by bottle--she is now up to 1 oz per feeding and they are also adding a supplement now to each feeding as well to give her extra calories. She also had her feeding tube switched from her mouth to her nose. She had to be 32 weeks gestational age to have that and she was 32 weeks today! Here are some new pics...
