Hope is indeed alive! Tess had a great first Easter. She took her full bottle for the second day in a row, which means she graduated to two bottle feedings per day. Today she nursed so well that we were able to count it as a bottle feeding, and if she can pull that off again tomorrow, she'll move up to three feedings a day. Looking forward to the day we can lose the bottles entirely. Baby steps.
In another Easter miracle :), the doctors mentioned today that she would definitely be coming home before her due date of May 20. She's been doing really well, so I figured that would be the case, but the exciting thing to us was the fact that the doctors even broached the subject of her being discharged. They'd never mentioned it before, except for the standard line they give all preemie parents - that discharge will be due date plus or minus two weeks. I'm glad to know they have her discharge on their minds!
Here's our official Easter picture ... four of us managed to keep the Easter outfits on through lunch. :)
