What day is it anyway?

Yesterday Ruby got to have her PIC line removed. She no longer needs IV nutrition and is eating enough to continue to grow on her own. Another step closer to home! And one less tube to worry about =) They have also increased her feeds to 32ml and will increase her bottle feedings as she can handle it. Right now she gets three bottles a day, although she's not yet finishing all of them, but she's trying!

And in more good news, as of last night, Ruby is now 4 pounds on the dot! Hooray!

The nurses continue to adore her, and line up for "Ruby loving" when Louis and I are at home resting. It makes it a little bit better knowing she is getting plenty of love and attention when we can't be with her. Still, we can't wait to get her home and give her all the loving we want, without having to say good bye at the end of the day. It's hard to miss her all the time, but we know she's working hard to come home, and is doing great!
