Today when we got to Ryann she was wide awake! I took alittle video of her and then realized my camera battery was going to die.

I held her for over an hour and she was just so alert and looking around everywhere, she also left me a great surprise, I had to change her poopy diaper! She has no butt, LOL! So it was alittle challenging, but momma did it! Because of our expierence and how blessed we have been with our preemies, Nick is starting to volunteer at the Ronald McDonald house, here in Augusta, he had his first meeting while I was at the hospital and then he came to join us afterwards. The lady that Nick met with today, told him that a family just left after being at the house for 300 days! I cant even imagine. It also houses families that have children in the pediatric ICU... So sad, we are so blessed!

She looks huge, but if you get a chance and you see a preemie outfit at the store, hold it up and it will put Ryann into perspective. her outfit and hat are preemie size!
We did talk to the doctor and Ryann's nurse today, she was able to look up for us that Ryann was actually measured when she first got to MCG hospital and that she did only measure at 31 weeks, so she was younger than we thought, and did in fact stop growing in my belly, since I was 34 weeks by gestation. So she might actually be in the hospital longer than her due date of April 8th, she is 3 weeks behind what we thought as far as age goes, but we will continue to take all of the prayers and love from everyone, which makes us all stronger!
She is now at 12ml continuous feedings, which is her max amount. So now they will work to start compressing her feedings, the ultimate goal is to get her at 12ml every 3 hours.... Once they get her to that goal then they will try bottle feeding again. So probably not for another week or so.
Thank you so very much, see you tomorrow!
