The business of gaining weight

This week the doctor gave us the wonderful news that he was going to put me to work breastfeeding Winona. What huge news!!!! The last big hurdle to her coming home is that she needs to be taking all her feedings by mouth while still gaining weight. She did so great with one breastfeeding a day that the doctor moved her to two feedings starting today. As I suspected, her weight gain has not slowed down one bit. Today she weighed 4 lbs 1 oz.
Still no word on when she gets to come home. I am really hoping that it will be within the next 2 or 3 weeks. Fayetteville is great but I am missing valley life.

Is that a bit of red in her hair? I think so!
