(Excerpt from my journal) You are having a pretty good day today.  It certainly has been an up and down battle these last few weeks. Last night you weighed 1100 grams which is almost 2lbs 7oz!  YAY!!  At least you are growing beautiful girl. I love to see you every day.  You were sleeping the whole time that I was here today.  I was able to help with your cares though.  They took out your arterial line which measures your blood pressure and they are increasing your feeds to 14cc every 3 hours of breast milk.  I wish your lungs would get better so that they could take you off the ventilator.  They are teaching me things to do that make you happy.  Like putting gentle pressure on your back.  I love you.
