She weighs 4 pounds 3 ounces and is up to 37 mils of food, which is given to her over a two hour period and then she gets nothing for an hour. This is to help her start getting the feeling of being hungry.
Our hope and prayer is that she will get to start trying to nurse this week. She is sucking a pacifier pretty good, but the "talent" of sucking, swallowing and breathing all at the same time is one she will have to learn.
Technically she is 35 weeks in gestation age so she is getting close to her original "birth" date.
We can not thank everyone enough for all your prayers, love and concern through the past 7 weeks. Please do not take her off your prayer list just yet. Continue to pray that she tolerate all the changes they are trying to get her used to and that she continue to gain weight and strength.
This is sweet Mylah today! If you look closely it even looks like she is getting a double chin!!
I have to say that I am one happy NANA! I got to hold my little princess Mylah for the first time yesterday! It felt good, even with all the wires!
