Back up there.

Rowyn made it back up to her birth weight yesterday (3lb 14.6oz). Yay! She still seems to be doing better everyday. We just saw her and fed her a decent amount from her bottle (20cc). She's starting to get the hang of it, but she gets pretty tired quickly. Unfortunately it's looking like Rowyn is going to be a morning person. That doesn't bode well with me (daddy). Looks like momma will get the sunrise shift!

We took a little preemie class yesterday morning and learned a ton from it. It's amazing what you have to be aware of. A lot of the little noises and signs the we think are cute can actually be signals of stress and may wear out our girl. So, we're going to have to be very aware of her signals and more attentive to her needs. At least we now know what to look for, but it's going to be tough.

We also found our pediatrician yesterday. Thanks to Nathan and Michael for the recommendations....we REALLY like the practice and our doctor. We know she'll be in great hands after she leaves the hospital.
