Creeping up on 4 LBS.

Gracie gained just 5 grams overnight, but put that together with the 50 and 55 she gained in the previous days and she is 3 lbs. 15.92 oz. They increased her feeding to 35 grams so hopefully she will get to 4 pounds tomorrow. She has been maintaining her temperature well so along with her almost 4 pound weigh in, they have decided to move her into an open crib. They were going to do it today, but they had a run on scheduled C-sections from moms who wanted there kids to be born on 5/5/05, so they ran out of open cribs. Hopefully a crib will come open tomorrow and Gracie can move in. Once she does it will be easier for Olivia to come see her through the windows of the nursery. Below are some pictures of Kim feeding Gracie from the bottle today. She continues to do well with the bottle feeding. It tires her out, but she gets through it very well. Kim and I still sweat through it but we will get better someday.
