Happy 4th of July!!

She now weighs 1660 grams!! Here is Presley in her 4th of July outfit! Other than her gaining some weight, that's about all that's changed. She's just feeding and growing! More feeding than growing so they are having her be held less and bumping her bottle feeds back down to only 2 nipple feeds a shift instead of 3 & a strict holding time of less than 30 minutes. It sucks, but if that's what will help her gain weight, then so be it. I'm also taking a breastfeeding hiatus because my tatas need the break! Between breastfeeding and all the pumping, I'm sore. Since her
Mouth is still so small, she still has a hard time keeping a good latch & it gets painful. So this was the perfect time to give her a little break! That and she has been doing Amazing at bottle feeding and tomorrow they plan on bumping her up to 32 mLs a feed. We are hoping that the 24cal starts to help her gain weight instead of loosing it. Other than the weight issue, her Neos all say she is doing great! That she is perfect, just tiny.

Here is Libby in her Fourth of July outfit! Isn't she just so stinking cute!! She is doing pretty good, however she is teething with another two teeth coming in, so she's kind of grumpy, but still her sweet little self. She's crawling and getting into EVERYTHiNG and just having the time of her life exploring her new found mobility. She's sooo much fun right now!! It was crazy being in the NICU AGAIN for another 4th of July a year later, but we figure next year we will do it BIG and it will be so fun because we for sure will not be in the NICU again :)
