Khloe Update days 62, 63, 64, and 65....halfway there!!!

Well just as I predicted on Wednesday, Khloe hit the 4 lb mark this weekend on Sunday! She is officially halfway through the requirements to go home! She is holdinig her own body heat very well and hasn't had any instances where her temperature went down and she is 4 lbs on the dot! We have started working on teaching her to feed and after only two short lessons, she is starting to get the idea slightly, all due to the fact that she loves her binki I'm sure. She loves it so much in fact that she decided to show her true redhead personality on Saturday and scream whenever Libby tried takinig it away and naturally she calmed down when she got it back. She must be my daughter not only due to the fact that she looks exactly like me, but because she has my charminig redhead personality! Hopefully she can learn to eat fairly quickly so we just need to worry about getting her off her respiratory support, then she is home free! Oh, and hopefully she does this all in the next 5 weeks because that is Septemeber 11th and her actual due date and that's the date they told us that they kind of use as a guestimate to go home, but they also said it could be later or sooner. Overall though halfway there ain't bad at all in my book. She's been doing really well and getting bigger and chubbier all the time. She did get a slight yeast infection this week as well as an eye infection, but they have been treating the yeast with a cream and it is cleared up and they started treating her eyes with slightly gelatinous medicated eye drops so hopefully that will clear up soon as well. She's getting 35 mL of milk and it definately shows because she is gaining weight quick, sometimes almost 2 oz a day. This weekend Shelbie and I made an excursion back home for our niece's baby blessing and decided to clean our apartment a bit and get her room ready for her up and hopefully soon coming journey home. It still has a little work that needs to be done but we got a bulk of it done and by that I mean her clothes are put away and all her gadgets like her swing, high chair, and bassonet put together. We can't wait have her home so we can finally use all that stuff. All in all things are going great as usual and Khloe is really moving forward so check back for more updates. Thanks for all the prayers and love.
