Good Morning, another glorious night with Claire. Mommy has already been up, dressing up her little miracle with bracelet's and pink fur. Claire wants a photo shoot a little later with big bro Johnny, & I'm sure we will soon have pictures of her all dolled up.
Claire was weighed for the first time since birth. She has only lost 1oz, so now she weighs 3lb5oz. We are super pleased with just 1oz loss, although I'm sure she will continue down in weight for several days. They usually do not allow regular babies to go home until they get to four pounds, however, since nobody knows if she will even get to 4 lbs, they may let us all go early. We will just have to monitor her closely at home (when we get home, we will probably wish we were back here with so much help).
Please continue your prayers, you have NO idea how grateful we are, and how helpful they are! She is appearing a little jaundice, so we are waiting on lab results now. Of course, this should be only minor, but we are worried that this may be an early sign of certain organ problems. PRAY ON!!! We are going to try bottle feeding again later today.
