One week old :) PIP

Hey ladies! So Charlotte is one week old, one week down in the NICU. They won't give us an estimate on when they think she can come home, I really think that we will come in one morning and they will just say, "alright, you ready?!"

 She has gained 5 ounces (as of yesterday, we haven't gone in yet this morning), but it seems like she is gaining 1-1.5 ounces per day once she started gaining past her birth weight. 

 She is still breathing great, but they did have to put in the feeding tube once they upped her feeds to more than she could handle. She gets too tired, and falls alseep about halfway through, but they way they have been upping it, she will be at 1 ounce feedings ever three hours. 

She also needs to work pretty hard to stay warm right now, but I think once she plumps us, she will be more successful at that!
