MARKING TIME!

As we adjust into our new life focused solely on growing, Charlotte seems to be playing the part.  Although she has had a few times today that she couldn't keep down her feedings, but overall she is tolerating well.  And, she even managed to gain 1 oz from yesterday!  CHECK.  She graduated into a hospital crib from her isolette but it seems HUGE.  Well, it is huge...for her.  

In a concentrated effort of keeping feeds down, she is being kept on a major incline.  And every time that I hear someone say "feeds," I feel like reminding them that we're talking about a baby, not a cow.  Nonetheless, I pray that the incline business helps her find some relief.  It's no fun to vomit, as we all know.  

We also have a gtube surgery date on the calendar: March 29 and counting.  In the meantime, our days will be marked with an oral stimulation plan, Charlotte modified "tummy time," and of course FEEDS.
