I'm A Big Kid Now!

It's official- she is huge! 19 inches long and 7 pounds 4 ounces. Her preemie onesies are getting hard to button and she has already outgrown on of her sleepers. I am taking some newborn size clothing down today to see how if fits. She has been doing well on her feeds. They have dumped the increasing by 3 ccs process and have decided to offer her full feedings and allow her to eat as much as she wants. She did really well with it yesterday and only had 4 of her 8 feedings fall short of 60ccs. Shawn and I have something very exciting to look forward to on Friday. We will be rooming in! The NICU has a private room where we can spend the night with Kennedy. She will be hooked to all her monitors and the readings will be transmitted to a monitor outside for the nurse to keep an eye on her. Shawn and I will be responsible for all her cares- feedings, medications, oxygen levels ect... but the doctors and nurses are there in case we need them. Basically its a trial run before they send her home. Of course that doesn't mean she gets to go home after we room in. She still has to meet her feeding requirements but it is one huge step closer to going home and the very first time Shawn and I will be able to spend the night with our daughter and care for her on our own.
