Miss Ella is also doing very well. She was up to 2 lbs and 12 oz the other night, when we could actually find out what she weighed. This has not been the best week at the main hospital. We’ve had a different nurse every night pretty much, and it’s ones we’ve never met or has never met miss drama. Miss Ella does not like a lot of things, and all of her regular nurses have figured this out. Not the new ones! We talked to Dr. Payne tonight and he’s very hopeful that Ella will be able to get back to Pineville this week and be back with her sister and all the wonderful nurses at the NICU in Pineville. We are hoping and praying. Maybe by the middle to end of the week?
Miss Emma is up to 3 lbs 15 oz as of tonight. Today, Erin, decided that it was time to introduce miss Emma to the bottle. Normally they take a couple of drops but aren’t really sure what to do with all of it. Not Emma, she decided to go ahead and drink the entire bottle down…and in about 10 minutes! We were amazed when we found out because we thought they would not start until later in the week and that it would take another week for the feedings to pick up. Well I guess the girl likes to eat because as of tonight, she’s had 4 bottles. Pops got to feed her tonight for the first time and it was pretty sweet. The girl acts like she’s ready to bust the joint. Now we need to get Ella there!

Look at all that hair! And what a healthy appetite, great to hear. As for Miss Ella, sounds like you’ve got a strong willed little girl there, personally I think they’re the best. Hoping for a sister reunion and SOON.

I just wanted to let you know that picture of you feeding Emma is so special. I couldn’t see before who the girls looked like but without a doubt, sorry Monica, but they look just like their Daddy. That picture of her and all that hair reminds me of what you looked like when you and your Mom lived in Cedar Lake. Your Mom was pregnant with Kim at the time. It was many years ago.
Beautiful daughters!! Hopefully the little sisters will be able to snuggle each other soon. Sending up prayers and sending you all our love.
