Big Day WIth Lots of Good News

Today was a big day...

Medical news is all good: All signs are that the duct in her little heart has closed, results of the brain scan are normal. Riley Grace is resting well and eating and gaining weight. We cheered for her first poop today. Subsequent poops were met with some enthusiasm.

Feedings are going like clockwork around the clock every three hours. She started out eating 4cc's per meal and tonight she ate 8cc's. The plan is to do an additional 1cc every six hours, which is 4cc's more per day. So far she is eating like a champ. Riley's goal is 30cc's per feeding. Eat like the wind little one. Mommy and daddy are cheering you on!


Riley Grace has moved! Every seven days the babies get new condos. This sweet little pad is stylishly decorated in pinks and browns just for her.


Today was spa day! Bath, shampoo, hairdo and a brand new outfit thanks to Grandma Carol

Lots of new blankets and clothes and little girlie things.

Goodnight little princess. We love you.
