look at how big i am!

when the nurse came on monday she was 7lb 13 oz~
and not only is she growing but...
Darla Jane is drinking from a bottle!! We haven't gotten to where she is exclusively bottle fed yet. It makes her a bit tired sometimes when she's drinking so her tube will stay in until she can exclusively bottle feed for a few days straight. Then we will know she won't need the tube. She had her first bottle on Saturday and drank about 1 ounce. Then she needed a nap. Sunday she tried a bottle 2 times, at about an ounce each time.
...full belly girl.

OK! so...I started writing this post on Monday morning, before the o.t. came to help with Darla Jane's feedings. When she came, we fed darla jane 1 ounce and she gulped it! ...no problem. The o.t. asked if we felt comfortable switch to on demand feeding with the bottle! ok. i was a bit nervous but little miss has done great! I am now updating this post at 11:30 on Tuesday and since the o.t. was here we have only done one tube feeding and that was because it was the middle of the night and I didn't want to have to wake her up to eat. So darla jane has been eating about 2 oz every three hours FROM A BOTTLE!!
