"The small baby who didn't know she was small"

That's what one of the nurses in the NICU is calling Megan.  She is really doing great.  Gaining weight every night (she is back to her birth weight of 3lbs 5 oz) and she has started to bottle feed a little earlier than expected.  That's important because she can't go home until she learns how to do it every time she needs to eat.  The tube coming from her nose is her feeding tube and we hope it will be gone soon.  We have no idea when her baby jail break will be, but our fingers are crossed that it will be in a couple weeks.  She is 34 weeks (gestational age) today.

  3. Do you get to do the whole kangaroo thing? I always thought that was kind of cool. Hope you're beginning to feel better. Excited to see everyone soon.
