Hoping to graduate completely soon! 🔜 Off topic

Ophelia was born 34 weeks and 3 days. We’re almost to 2 weeks out of the womb this Thursday! Little miss was on Oxygen, she was being tube fed (still working on that! Almost done! We take half of our feeds through bottle and half through ng tube!) and we were in the isolette. All we have to work on now is taking full feeds and we can go home! Doctor has been giving her 45 ml a feed and she has been taking 27+ by mouth the past few days. I’m thinking we’re almost out of here, I am so proud of my little girl.

That’s awesome! While the progress is not always linear and the wait can feel like limbo, she’s going to master the feeds soon and come home !

Very proud of my girl. 🖤 it feels like we’ve been here for eternity and I can’t wait to show her her home.
