Expected Homecoming

Carina is doing very, very well. She's been put into the level 2 NICU now, so we don't have to wear gowns to visit her anymore. She's taken all her feedings very well, and I was allowed to breastfeed her directly tonight. The nurse told us that they're considering letting her come home on Monday.

Our little girl is quite the eater. I thought she was going to suck my breasts right off tonight! I knew I was in for it when we visited her the other day, and she was making these very loud sucking noises on the pacifier. The couple across the way thought it was us blowing kisses at her! :)

I can't say how thankful we are that she is OK, and that we're going to have her home soon. It's too bad that she had to go through all this, but at least we're sure she's OK now.

By the way, if you follow the "Baby Countdown" link to the left, there are now links to photos of Carina.
