Cardie is now three and a half pounds, and large enough to wear preemie size clothing. She is still on a feeding tube, as she is not strong enough to nurse, but she is getting her mother’s milk, and coming along beautifully. When she weighs four pounds she can get out of her isolette, and then home.
It just occurred to me that she weighs exactly half of what my girls weighed when they were born – and I thought they were tiny!
And I bet she grows up to be a determined and strong-willed woman.
