This just in...

Charlotte passed her car seat test with flying colors. We are still in the countdown, but so glad to have this one behind us.

Caterpillar....uh, Tuesday?

So we haven't posted one of these in awhile:
Little C is 6 pounds 7 ounces and 18 inches long. She has come a long way from where she started.We are so proud of her and can't wait to have her home.

Happy Birthday Grandpa Russell

For your birthday present, I am growing......hard. I might even be snoring.

Ugh....Reset

CG had a brady yesterday, the countdown clock has reset. Back to day 1 :(

Notice anything different?

No? Need another picture? See it yet?

Well, let me help you out. Charlotte had her feeding tube removed today! She jumped from 4 to 8 bottles like a Champ. So, let's recap the things she needs to accomplish before coming home:

• Maintain temp - check
• No cannula - check
• No caffeine - check
• Take all 8 bottles - check
• No bradys for 7 days post caffeine - working on day 3
• Car seat test - will be done after 7 day brady count down

We are almost there!

R.I.P Mr. Caterpillar

Mr. Caterpillar has apparently gone to the big laundry mat in the sky. We knew you would want to mourn with us. Never fear, he will promptly be replaced by several clones so Mommy doesn't have to go back to hell on earth should this happen again.

P.S. HOE is Babies R' Us. I despise that place.

Hank is starting to worry...

I think he knows he is moving down a peg on the priority ladder. We are getting close, very close to bringing his new master home.

Charlotte is making great progress with her bottles. She is up to 4 a day and I think we will be moving to 6 tomorrow or Friday. The big news is, they took her off her caffeine today and she appears to be tolerating it very well. We will have to give her a few more days to adjust before we get really excited, but things are looking good.

Charlotte weighed in at a whopping 6 pounds 2.4 ounces tonight (2,790 grams) and she is now 17.7 inches (45cm). Now instead of worrying about her being too cold, we have to make sure she isn't too hot! A much better problem to have, for sure.

More soon.
