Almost there!

Happy 2 week birthday, Harper!!  Here's an update...

She is up to 5 lbs., 15.2 oz. today!!  So she has gained almost a pound in the last 2 weeks!!  (She was born at 5 lbs., 9 oz., but went down to 5 lbs., 1 oz.).  She should be 6 pounds by tomorrow!!

Anyway, she is feeding GREAT!!  She has got breastfeeding down, and is learning to use a bottle...that is all we were waiting for, so we should be able to go home any day now!

They called today and asked us to bring her car seat in to do a "car seat study," which just monitors her while she sits in it to make sure she can handle it...and if they're asking to do one, then she should be able to leave in her car seat soon!!

Everything else is great...mommy got to give her a bath on Tuesday night and she loved carrying Harper to the bath with no wires or feeding tube in!  Plus her little umbilical cord is going to fall off any day now...she's just getting bigger and bigger every day!!

I can't wait to write and let you all know that she's home!!  Yay!!

Love,

The Christensen Family
