Catherine loves her swing! She got to breastfeed twice today and did really well and they should be giving her a bottle tonight. She has not been spitting up at all. She has not gained any weight since Saturday so they increased the calories in the breastmilk. We think the reason she was gaining weight better last week was because she had help from the nutrition she was getting in her PICC, but she is no longer on that. Please pray for weight gain for little Catherine. They do everything in grams and kilograms, so she should be gaining about 20 grams/day (28 grams is about an ounce). Right now she weighs 2890 grams, which is about 6# 6oz. As soon as she starts gaining weight consistently she can come home!!! Thank you for your prayers, as we pray for all of you!

Someday, when she’s like 16, you’ll look back and think out loud, “Did we worry and wonder about her so much when she was just a wee thing?” You’ll be on the eve of her learning to drive, of her first date, of her wedding, of her major milestones, and you’ll see the miracle of prayers at work and the great gift God has given you in being a witness to the blessing of children.Catherine Therese, you are a blessing to so, SO many people.
