Time to share some photos. The one below is before Christmas (December 23rd) while we were still at Children's. I forgot that I had this one and thought it was a nice picture.
The following two pictures are a bit dark (but it gets dark so early and the lights at Lions Gate aren't the best). Uncle Bruce (Sister Sarah's husband) finally got his first visit with Alice. After their babies were born, the H1N1 banned all visitors at Children's so Bruce didn't get a chance to meet Alice until yesterday. Which gave me an opportunity (because I remembered to bring the camera) to take pictures of Alice NOT in her crib/basinette.
Her weight last night is 6lbs 6 ounces. So she's doing really well in the weight gaining department and really well in the eating department too. She took a bottle at midnight last night and 6am this morning. And I'm at the hospital 3 times per day (9am, 3pm and 9pm) for the boob feed. Last night she had her biggest feed with me - 78 cc's. Based on her weight she only needs to get 56 cc's. So she's a good eater.
Alice is still has her desats (although not nearly as many as at Children's - which is why she was able to move to Lions Gate) but until she has no desats for a certain amount of time (probably 3 to 5 days) they won't even think about letting her come home. We are hoping that she'll be home by the end of January. Fingers crossed!
Max came to see Alice yesterday - the visit lasted about one minute. But he was happy to see her and when we left he said "Good bye Alice. I love you."
