It won't be long now

All snuggled after her bath

I made her the white blanket. It only took me three months!

Ciara is doing well again today weighing in at 3lb 8oz. She is nippling pretty much every feeding. She didn't use her feeding tube at all yesterday and she only used it once on Sunday. On Saturday the doctor told me that if she keeps doing as well as she is now, she might be able to come home in 2 weeks!!! How wonderful would it be to have our baby home! Now I am not counting down the days because who knows what the next 2 weeks will bring. But just the thought of having our family together is beyond explanation. Please continue to pray that she is strong enough to come home soon. I breast fed her yesterday and she got 15cc from me. It is so weird to me that it is easier for her to bottle feed than to breast feed. It takes a lot of work and use of the fat pads in her cheeks to get my milk out. Where on the bottle the milk flows very freely. You would think God would make the breast easier!!! Oh well, we will keep working on it and as long as she gets some of my milk I won't mind if I have to supplement when she gets home. Since my talk with the doctor Corey and I have been changing the spare bedroom into her nursery. I worked on it quite a bit yesterday and Aaliyah is going to stay at Grandma Benson's tomorrow night so I can get more done then. Thank you for all of your prayers. They are the only reason our little Ciara is doing so great!
