Large and In Charge - Olivia hits 5 lbs!

Good news! Tonight Olivia gained 75 grams, to get to 2275 grams or 5 pounds! While not Earth-shattering, it's another major milestone for us. She continues to grow and get healthy.

Olivia is back on her nasal cannula and off bottle feeding, it looks like she wasn't quite ready to master that task. While she has a good suck (so I'm told), she seems to be aspirating a little bit. She'll be on the cannula for the weekend and then we'll see how she does! This is not alarming to us in any way, just a little bump in the road.

On a more happy note, yesterday Olivia celebrated her 1 month birthday. Unfortunately, I had to travel to Philadelphia for work but came home with a birthday present for Olivia, a book "Commander in Leash" about President Obama's dog, Bo. My present was reading it to her, while she looked at me with her eyes, which she's opening a lot more!
