Doctor Update!

Well we took Gracelyn back for her two week appt. hoping that she was back to her birth weight... and unfortunately she wasn't :(
When she was born she weighed 8 lbs 15 oz. and at the appointment she was only at 8lbs 9 oz. So the doctor has us on another goal. Now she has to gain 10 oz in two weeks! At least I am not demand feeding anymore, and now that she is sleeping so much better at night, she is eating every three hours and doing great! She is concerned that she is sleeping through her feedings and not eating enough so now I have to nurse her for 10 minutes on each side and then give her a bottle, that way we know how much she is actually eating. David LOVES it... he has been waiting for the day he could feed her with a bottle again ever since he fed her in the NICU!

Hopefully she will gain the weight needed so they can graduate her!
