What's wrong with these pictures???


... anyone notice the feeding tube is gone??  

I apologize for not updating sooner... but the last few days have been a whirlwind of activity. We started off by Tekla pulling out her feeding tube on Saturday. She is now totally on bottle feeds and doing great! She also had her car seat challenge on Sunday which she passed with flying colors. Today she had her head ultrasound which was normal (did I mention she passed her hearing test last week?) Greg has to take his CPR course tomorrow night (my certification is good, neener neener, neener.... ) and Wednesday is her follow up eye exam. 

All this is leading to one thing..... she will be coming home this week!!!  It looks like Friday is the tentative discharge date so keep your fingers crossed. 

oh... I almost forgot... she now weighs 4 pounds 12 ozs.

this is FANTASTIC!!!!

She looks much happier without the tube up her nose.

When she's in the car seat she looks like she's thinking "Let's get this show on the road and go home!"

May she pass her remaining tests with flying colors (and Papa Greg, too).
