Exciting!!

We received some exciting yet somewhat frightening news yesterday. We were told by the medical staff that princess Tekla may be coming home in 7 -10 days!! They also moved her from her isolette to a regular crib (so far she is maintaining her temp), they increased her bottle feeds to 4 times a day and they stopped her caffeine (they give it to premies to prevent slow heart rate and slow respiration episodes). She is also up to 4 pounds 3.5 ozs.

Now we have so much to do in order to get the house ready!!

That is great. She is living up to her namesake and is a strong little girl. Next thing you know she'll be walking and talking.
