Friday the 12th was an exciting day for Nana and Aunt Theresa. We got to hold Ella for the first time. While I was holding her and telling her about our crazy family, Theresa stood by and waited for her to open her eyes. How she ever captured this smile with a dimple I'll never know. She is so tiny and precious! On the 13th she was 13 weeks old and on the 17th she'll be 37 weeks gestationally.
She takes about 3 of her breast milk feedings from a bottle everyday(37cc). Most of the time she takes the full feeding, but sometimes she needs to have some put in her feeding tube.
She is slowly gaining some weight. She is around 3 lbs. 7 oz. now and still 15.5 " When she gets 4 # they are going to rehook her intestines and get rid of her colostomy bag. I'm not looking forward to that surgery because her last surgery for her eyes they had to put her back on the vent and she slept for 5 days. It took alot of prayers for her to pull out of that one. I was praying she'd be home for Christmas but we'll probably be looking at the new year. She is a miracle baby for sure.... I can tell by that dimple she is going to be a sweet loving child.
