Emalee is 4 lbs 9.1 oz today. She is taking almost all of her feedings by bottle. She has to take all her feedings by bottle for 2 days to get to come home. We will probably room in at the hospital some time this week. She could be home by this time next week. We can't wait! She is getting so big!

Emalee is 4 lbs 1.3 oz today. She took her first bottle yesterday. She took 33 ml(just over an ounce) in 16 mins. She loved it! They will be weaning her off the oxygen now so they can move her to the bassinet. :)
