19 days and counting

It’s been 2 weeks, 5 days (I think, today is Friday right?) since little Kaylee entered our lives and I cannot imagine it any other way. I honestly cannot tell you what I would do doing at this very moment, if I were back in Magnolia and almost 35 weeks pregnant. I can’t imagine my life without Kaylee. She’s everything to me. Today, i’m going to give updates on Kaylee, my newest pictures of her, and I’m going to hope you all enjoy my little miracle.

Updates

-Moved to Step Down from NICU. She has been in Step Down since Wednesday.
- Started on a bottle, once per shift. Kaylee took 13 mL (or cc) her first try, and 15 mL the next day. Her 2:00 feeding this afternoon, she took her entire feeding in a bottle, which is 31 mL.
- Kaylee is already a candidate for the NEXT step down! She is off her antibiotic, and off her oxygen. Her nurse today (whom I adore) said she is a “grower” baby, all that is left is for her to grow!
- Her latest weight, which was last night, was 3 lbs. 14 ounces.
** Once moved to the next step down (2K is what it is called, I think) there could be days I can “room in” with her, depending on how many babies are going home. Towards the end of her stay I should be able to stay with her at least for the last of it, but we’re hoping for more than just that. I really want to stay with her, now!! I already have my bags ready!
