Ansley is 6 weeks old & 3 lbs. 8 oz.!!

Ansley weighed 1600 grams (3 lbs., 8 oz.) today!! She is gaining weight fast! They want her to gain an ounce a day and she is doing that (sometimes more). She is 16 inches long and still has her oxygen and feeding tube. She has been decreased to 2.5 liters of oxygen and is at 21% (room air) She still has her oralgastric feeding tube, but I am going to start breastfeeding her this week!! Please pray that she does well :) She was really upset this past weekend and wouldn't calm down very easily. The nurse put something called "sweet ease" (sugar water) on the end of her pacifier and I'll never forget her smile! She loved it!! It was the first time she actually tasted something! Also, we had an interesting time putting her handprints and footprints in her baby book! (She is still fiesty) Luckily there were 3 of us to get that acomplished, she didn't care for it, but she made it. Of course, when we put the ink on her hands and were ready to press them on the page she immediately made a fist! By the last print she was done, and it was hilarious! (It's smeared on the page). That's our Ansley though, she does what she wants to when she wants to! We've got our hands full, and are loving every minute of it :)
