We recevied great news today! Ryann gets to come home on Monday!!
They changed her to all bottle feedings today and if she continues to do well with all the bottles and not get to tired, then we will finally have the sisters together!!
She is now 5lbs 6oz! and her preemie outfits do not even fit anymore!! newborn here we come!
She will be coming home with an Apnea/Heart rate monitor, so on Monday Nick and I have to go to the hospital and meet with the respiratory people to learn all about the machine and how to administer the caffeine. We think that the least amount of time she will need to have the caffeine and the monitor would be about a month, but we are anticipating a few months, probably. We will learn alot more once we get to the hospital on Monday for our appt.
Ryann was so awake and alert today when we were with her, it is so exciting and scary to think that she is coming home in just a few days and this is the last weekend that we will only be a family of 3.
Thank you all for your constant prayers and support!!

Day 33 - We have a double chin!
Wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter! Lucy and Ryann were spoiled!
Ryann weighs 5lbs 3 oz now! she has a double chin! and she was transferred last tuesday night to the lower level NICU, which is the transition to home unit! Hooray!!!
She is doing really well, they are still giving her caffiene once a day and her heart rate has still been dropping every so often. So she is still just hanging out and growing! Today they started her at feeding with the bottle 3 times a day, the other feedings are still through her feeding tube. Both Nick and I have now fed her with the bottle and her stomach is tolerating it really well! She really sucks, LOL! I was trying to pull the bottle out with all of my might and I couldnt!
We are hoping that Ryann will be out sometime in the next 2 weeks, the doctor still hasnt really given any indication of when she could go home, but that is what we are hoping for!! What a great bday present for da da!!!
Realized that I had falled behind on some of Ryann's milestones so we took all of the pics in one day!
Ryann was super awake yesteday and today when we were with her. My Aunt Kath is on spring break, so she came to visit us!!
Lucy at the Easter Bunny! forgot the picture cd at my mom's house, will upload picture when I get it!
My big girl underwear : ) Mommy and Daddy are hoping I can be potty trained before my sister comes homes!!
