I know it's been a long time since I have posted. I have been chastised for that. :) We had a wonderful "Reunion Shower" on Sunday and it was so nice to see everyone! So many people and so much love. We are definitely a lucky family!
Bella is doing fantastic! She is now 4lb 10oz and bottle feeding every 2 out of 3 feedings. The doctor didn't say this, but the nurse seems to think we might be able to come home early next week. So far so good with the increased feedings. She took all of her 9am and 12pm bottle feedings so we hope it will continue tonight. We are finding that Bella almost always takes her whole bottle for me, but may not always take it for anyone else. Hopefully that will improve also. She's starting to get better about waking up on her own for her feedings and rooting around for her bottle. It always helps for her to be awake when we try to feed her. :)
Also the bedding is finished and ready for Bella. Here's a sneak peek.

Hey Robyn! Bella seems to have grown and changed quite a bit just since your last post! I am so excited that you will get to take her home soon! Your fun times are just beginning! I will continue to keep your family in my prayers!

Hey Rob,
So glad y'all are doing well. Mommies have amazing powers, I'm learning. And, if you can get Bella awake when you feed her, you've beat Marion Ruth about half the time. Can't wait to meet her & see your new house.
Love,
Christie
