36 week update

Caitlyn was supposed to be born 4 weeks from now. She is 4 pounds, 15.5 ounces, so we are fully expecting her to hit the 5 pound mark tomorrow. She's back up to 20cc's of milk (by tube) and they went down a bit on her oxygen. They also moved her back to a crib! She seems to be feeling much better, but they did decide to extend her antibiotics to a total of 16 days. The best news is that nothing is growing in her cultures, so they took her off precautions. Nurses and visitors no longer have to wear a gown or gloves if they want to hold her :) We were told to expect that she will probably come home 2 weeks after her due date, so the end of September.

Good job Caitlyn. I knew she would pull thru her sickness. Isn't it crazy how big she looks at 5 lbs. People used to think Jack looked so tiny and I thought he looked pretty normal. Maybe she will come home right when I have my baby!!! Keep up the good work.
