So much has been happening I have been falling behind on my posts! First info on Bella...We have actually met the 3lb mark she is now 3lb and 1oz and 41 cm long (haven't converted that to inches yet). She is taking one bottle feed a day. Monday when we tried it she probably spit out as much as she got in, but yesterday she took in 22 ml and it all went down. Now they will gradually increase her bottle feeds until she is being totally fed by bottle. The reason they don't want to go to it completely right now is that they don't want her to loose too many calories trying to eat.
Bella is also wearing clothes now as you can see in some of the pictures. They have adjusted her bed so that it keeps a constant temperature and her body is supposed to regulate itself. So far she's doing well. I had to laugh at the Cook Children's t-shirt on her. That is a normal newborn size t-shirt and as you can see it swallows her up. The Preemie clothes work better, but even they can be a little big at times.
In addition to all of the Bella news we have great news on the house. The floors are in and we moved in our bedroom furniture so we slept in our new house for the first time last night! Yippee!!!! We also have a lot of our kitchen stuff, but I'm procrastinating on putting in the shelf paper. :)

I hate shelf paper!!! I'm glad things are going so well. I think of you often, and the prayers will continue to come your way!
Love,
Michelle
Even though she is still tiny, the clothes make her look big! I'm so impressed by her progress! Congrats on the house news.
