Learning to eat
We crossed the 4 lb mark today (current weight: 4 lbs 2 oz.).
Amy taught us how to try to feed Ella. The main issue now before she can come home is to be able to get food by mouth instead of the NG tube. Since babies born this early can't quite coordinate swallowing and breathing, it's a little harder than it may seem. Today Ella was more interested in sleeping than eating, but gave it a shot with the bottle for the first time.
As you can see it didn't go so well (the video is a good example of how Aaron can't stop watching the monitor)...Tomorrow's another day...
P.S. (Happy birthday Grandma Debbie)
