Our 8 week old has been opening her eyes a lot wider lately and checking out her surroundings. I hope she doesn't like them and wants to go home, like I do!
She's gained even more weight and is now 3lbs 15 oz. Perhaps tomorrow will take us out of the 3 lb range. The doctors are pleased with her weight gain and have increased her feeds to 34 mls every three hours to keep up with her. She took all her feeds by tube today, but we'll keep trying oral feeds tomorrow.
No changes to her respiratory support.
She's maintaining her temperature very well and the isolette was removed from her room yesterday. Now she has what seems like a huge room for her little self.
Now that it's October, she's been sporting her festive Halloween hat:

I love the photos - look at those eyes! Does she have a tinge of red to her hair? She is making such progress - every day! Sending all our love from Iowa...
Oh my goodness, her cheeks are adorable! She has changed so much in looks since the day she was born! She is still simply beautiful :)
Love you all!

She has beautiful big eyes! Is that red hair? Congratulations on all of her positive progress. The three of you will get to be home together soon!
Thinking of you all,

I can't believe that is Charlotte! She is so precious!
She looks so precious in this picture. I too am wondering if that is red hair?! =) Wendy Davis
Wow! She is so adorable. I think she looks like Katie...no wait, I can see Patrick in her too. Congrats on all of the progress! I think a big celebration is in order when she hits the 4 lb. mark. Take care!
Love, Laura
