Big changes! :)

Sami gets it! She's eating! Well it's more like inhaling! LOL. She is finishing her bottles now in about 8 minutes flat. Of course she still only gets an ounce at a time because her stomach is too small for any more than that, but because of how well she started eating yesterday and all night last night, her feeding tube was removed this morning! We were warned that there is a possibility she wont keep it up, and will wind up having the tube put back in, but it's still a very good sign! I almost cried last night each time that I fed her because it was so great to watch her eat so well.

In other good news, she had a big weight gain over the past day and a half, and is now weighing 4 pound and 2 ounces! This means that in the next day or two she will most likely be moved out of the incubator and into a crib! There is a chance that will stress her out a little and cause her to stop eating so well, but it's just a wait-and-see situation. Either way, this is great news.

Sami definitely has a temper. When she does not like something she really lets you know. Last night when we were cleaning her belly button (she lost her cord last night, too!) she was screaming so much she turned bright red and her heart monitor went up to 200. It quickly went back down afterward, but boy is she a character already.

It looks like she may be home before Thanksgiving :) I am so proud of our little girl.
