Brinley's Homecoming

Today was a big day!! Brinley finally got to come home with us, it still seems a little surreal but I'm sure about 2am tomorrow morning things will become a little more real. HA! So far things are going great, we kept it really low key and only had her grandparents over tonight we have alot of people who want to meet her but we're just going to have to do it a little at a time. Here are a few pictures I took today, isn't her outfit adorable?

I Just love this picture of the 3 of usMy Papa made this sign, only my Papa would do something this sweet.. I just LOVED it!!Brinley in her own bassinet for the very first time

Lots of Progress

The last week has been absolutely wonderful! Brinley is doing so good and we are hoping to be able to take her home within the next week. Brinley had her feeding tube removed yesterday because she's a big girl now and is getting all of her milk from a bottle, she eats every 3 hours and gets 41cc of formula. As most of you know I've been pumping 6-8 times a day since she was born and I never got a ton of milk but I always managed to stay ahead of her because at times she wasn't fed due to her being sick well as of Monday she caught up with me and all the frozen milk we had is gone so instead of me continuing to pump and getting hardly any milk I decided it was time to stop so now she is a formula fed baby, the formula really stinks when she spits up and when she poops but I'm so loving not having to pump all the time..
Brinley now weighs 5 pounds 4 ounces, she's just the cutest and sweetest baby in the whole world. I can't wait to get her home but I'm also scared to death, she'll go home on oxygen and a monitor and some meds Home Health will come out weekly to weigh her and take care of her oxygen needs. I'm really glad she's going home on a monitor it will give me alot of piece of mind because whenever her oxygen level dips it'll sound an alarm.
This is just such an exciting time in our lives, we just love her to pieces!!
