Day 59

Aerin is 0.3 ounces away from 4 pounds (she's 3 pounds, 15.7 ounces). It seems like she's teasing us. She had a pretty good day, aside from some fussiness due to gas and reflux. She nursed at 2:00 p.m. and went strong for 15 minutes, then fizzled out. She was still hungry and chugged 15 cc's from a bottle. She took all but 2 cc's of her 8:00 p.m. bottle. She's on a 3 bottle, 1 breast, 4 tube schedule - she gets a tube feeding every other feed.

I bought diapers at the Kroger today (Pampers Swaddlers - Newborn Size). I almost cried, I was so happy. I've waited so long to have a baby to buy diapers for and I've waited so long for her to come home.

Awww, that is so sweet. I'm so glad your very special girl is doing so well and will be home with you soon. (As an aside, those diapers are very awesome. Although when we outgrew them we switched to Luvs as they stopped leaks better and are cheaper and absorb more than regular Pampers or Huggies.)

Aerin is very fortunate to have a Mommy like you to think only of her comfort.
Fortunately, when she comes home, you will have many, many diapers to change.
She is absolutely beautiful.
