Quick Update

Mikaila had no problem tolerating her feeds through the night. When they weighed her prior to her 2am feed, she was up 10 grams to 780. We are so happy that she has been able to maintain the huge gain she had a few days ago. Although her latest up-tic is somewhat modest, it is a move in the right direction. She is just 13 grams short of 30% growth (in weight) from birth. Not too shabby.

I should talk for a second about expectations. My instinct is to set milestones, monitor her progress toward achieving those milestones, and then fill everyone in on her successes and setbacks. Although I would prefer her to follow that course, that really isn't how it works. We can set artificial milestones and celebrate them as she breezed by them or we can simple enjoy the fact that she is kicking some major butt each and every day. I think I will go the second route and enjoy her continuous improvement.
