We are now able to feed Alexa 4 times / day by bottle. She has finally figured out how to suck, swallow, and breath all at the same time. This took nearly 2 weeks and was a little discouraging at times. Now that she's got it down we're hoping they will continue to increase the amount of times/day she can be hand fed.
Although the picture may not show it, she is getting bigger. She's up to 3 lbs. 11oz. and should be able to be in an open crib in the next day or two. This is just another step closer to allowing her to come home.

She does look like she is getting bigger. She is so adorable! I bet you are so glad that you get to feed her. What a precious little girl.
Trevor & Melissa,
You know what they say about good things coming in small packages. I have a feeling that you've started something that will continue to bless your lives for many years to come. She is really starting to fill out as she gains weight. I can tell that she has her grandpa's signature forehead...
