A Really Big Girl
Emma has officially tripled her birth weight... she weighed in at 4 pounds, 10 ounces this afternoon!
Actually, the docs are a bit concerned that she is gaining too much weight and have given her medication to ensure she isn't retaining fluid (which can make it harder for her to breathe and may account for her ongoing need for oxygen during feeds). By this evening she had lost 90 grams (about 3 ounces), so hopefully her need for the O2 will decrease.
She had a busy day... we had 2 good sessions with the lactation consultant and Emma did really well with her feeds. Today was also bath day and Emma had the nurses giggling when she managed to cover Mommy and herself with a mid-bath poop [Emma will now be sooo embarrassed to read this blog when she's a teenager :~) ]
Emma is going to CHEO (via ambulance) tomorrow morning for another eye examination. Depending on the results, she may have to stay at CHEO for a couple of days in order to have surgery... I'll update tomorrow evening.

That is such a precious photo of Emma with her Mommy. We will be thinking of Emma at her eye appt today, sending good wishes.
LOVE that picture of Love between mom and child
will be thinking of you tomorrow
WHAT A beautiful Picture. I always loved holding my kids when they were little. Probably why they walk all over me now.
You should get a family photo done as soon as you get Emma home. You all deserve it.
Hugs
