Ansley is 1 month old!!

I can't believe that Ansley is 1 month old already!! She is doing great, and weighs 2 lbs., 11 oz! She has gained 1 lb!! She is being weened off of her oxygen, and is on 3 1/2 liters. She got all of her IV's out last Friday. Ansley is now 14 1/2 inches long. She is getting 21 ml's of milk every 3 hours. She has the nurses on their toes at all times, she is known for pulling out her feeding tube and her oxygen canula! I think she's tired of having those on her face and is ready to come home :) Ansley started sucking on a pacifier and loves it (even though it's almost as big as her)! She also LOVES to suck on her thumb/ fingers. They will try to start feeding her orally in a couple of weeks (when she would have been 34 weeks gestation). This week she will also have another brain scan to check for bleeding (she did not have any when she was born, or when she was a week old) and get her eyes checked (for Retinopathy of Premiturity -ROP). We have enjoyed holding her!! It's the best feeling in the world :) She is such a blessing and a wonderful addition to our family. I will continue to keep ya'll posted. Thanks for the continued prayers!
