Our little peanut is gaining weight like a pro. She is gaining approximately an ounce a day! She weighed in at a whopping 4 lbs 14 oz today!!!!!
She is 5 weeks old as of yesterday and just as perfect as can be.
I can't believe it has already been five weeks. She has been home for two weeks now and we can't get enough of her sweet little spirit. She is starting to be awake a bit more - as in two sessions of awake time a day with one being about 45 minutes and the other about 30 minutes. She is such a sweetie and we just adore her!
She is doing great...and I am SO excited to announce that the doc gave the go ahead to nurse her as much as I want now. We were limited to before to once a day, then twice a day, then three times a day...and the rest bottle fed (with my milk and fortified with formula to bump up calories). But he said I can finally just nurse her. I know she will eat a lot more often now...going every 2-3 hours instead of every 3-4 with the bottle, but I am so excited. I have spent more time than I would have liked with this little buddy....
and my poor freezer does not have much more room for milk on top of our normal freezer food!
She is worth it though! We go back to the doc in two weeks to see how she is doing. Hopefully she doesn't gain toooo quickly or else she will out grow her blessing dress before her baby blessing!

Good for you Maylee!! What good news that you can exclusively nurse her now. So much easier and better for her too!
lol I love your freezer! It's too bad we didn't figure out the whole laying down the bag thing sooner haha.
She is seriously so cute!! We'll have to get together when I get back to AZ!
