Isn't she beautiful?

It was wonderful to visit Meredith this morning with M. We arrived between feedings so we were expecting to find her soundly sleeping but were we in for a surprise! Clearly she's gaining strength daily because this morning she was very alert and very active. We kept telling her to sleep but she wasn't having any of it. I wonder if this is a sign of things to come?

Improvements abound! We were pleased to see the feeding tube removed this morning and to hear there hadn't been a single incidence of apnea in the last 48 hours. The fortified feedings have also helped her put on some weight. Our baby girl is now back up to a whooping 5lb 12oz (still so tiny!). When feeding time came around, she took half from the breast and half from a bottle. We were really happy to see so many good things come together in one day.

While we were visting Meredith, Thomas enjoyed the morning at home with a woman we are now referring to as Supernanny. Have you seen the t.v. show? I opened our front door this morning to greet a smartly dressed, friendly woman complete with the Burberry tote and the British accent. The only thing missing was a British taxi like the one they use on the show.
