So far this week has been a busy one for little Stella. We're pretty sure she's determined to come home because she is already taking almost half her feedings from a bottle rather than via gavage (tube through her nose into her stomach). All the nurses say that most babies don't "nipple" (eat from a bottle) until 34 weeks and she isn't even 34 weeks yet! Mom and dad are very proud to say the least. Stella seems like a calm baby--mostly sleeping which is good. She wakes up every 3 hours around her "care" times--this is when she gets her temperature taken, diaper changed, vitals checked and gets fed. This weekend Stella got a suprise visit and was happy to meet her Grandma Suz.

I would expect nothing less from this little star. And, of course she is a good eater....she is the daughter of PH!!! Grow Stella Grow!
She is amazing! What a strong little girl she is. I can't believe how much she's already changed. She is determined to get home so she can start "kicking up dust" as Sullivan would say.
Such a sweetie. The shot of her stretching is the best. Love the blog! Keep 'em coming.
