Bella looking up at Grandmomma
Everything with Bella is still going GREAT!!!!! Well, except for the fact that Bella is a little sad because neither her Nana nor her Grandmother Angela have been able to get down there lately. There are, however, plenty of Great Grannies to take up our slack! Bella is continuing to grow and is doing well with her bottle feedings. She continues to have her feeding tube, but it has been moved from her mouth to her nose to aid in her bottle feedings. I know this is bothering her because she has already PULLED it out!!! She is still being fed every 3 hours and is receiving her feedings via bottle every other time. She now weighs 4 pounds 5 ounces.
Although no dates have been given by the NICU doctors or nurses, we are anxiously waiting to hear the news that she can come home. We know that those words are still a few weeks away because Bella will have to increase her bottle feedings to EVERY feeding without decreasing the amount of milk she is getting through her feeding tube. We are just happy to see her progress and to know that her homecoming is drawing closer.
