guess whos gaining weight? ? ?

Tallulah has just hit 3 lbs 11 1/2 oz last night.  She is starting to really put the weight on.  Thank God and her new amazing milk.  A lot of the stress and pressure of the visits are starting to go away as well.  Instead of seeing a fragile fetus that needed so much prayer and nourishment, I am seeing a beautiful baby.  A baby that recognized my voice.  A baby that is taking her feeds by bottle (well almost all of her feed by bottle).  A baby that has some huge screaming lungs when she chooses to use them.  A baby that every now and then actually stares back at me and holds the stare for a split second.  Like to let me know "I see you".  Our prayers and love seem to be working.  The fear of her fragility will always be there, but they are getting controllable now.  We don't yet know when she will be coming home,  what her needs will be when she comes home,  if we will need any special equipment like oxygen or heart monitors or sleep apnea equipment.  As we get closer to her release we will be receiving training on all of the equipment she will need as well as baby CPR and self monitoring classes.  PHEEEEW!   Its going to be an interesting ride. 
We spent the morning with her and my mom fed her for the first time.  It was so fun to watch.  The March of Dimes had a photographer there today to take pictures of all of the NICU babies.  It was so fun.  Tallulah is a natural.  Well I guess shes already had plenty of practice considering all of the pictures that I take of her.  The hospital attempted to give her an MRI today but Miss T. wasn't really in the mood for it and didn't cooperate with them so it got rescheduled for tomorrow.  Which means she might not be in the best mood tomorrow because on top of the MRI she already has a scheduled Hearing test that she has to be sedated for sooooooooooooooo  my lil miss is going to be pooped!  Tonight is a big night for her as well.  She is going to attempt to go without oxygen for a few hours to see how she does.  Cross your fingers that she does well.  I will keep you updated after we leave there tonight.  Hopefully they will do it with us there.   Okay.  Talk to y'all later...R
