Eliza is now 2 pounds!! It looks like for now they have finally worked out the magic concoction to get the baby to grow. Four days ago they started her on IV nutrition in addition to the milk and some other additives.. and she's gained over 100 grams since!
The tightness in my chest has relaxed some and it feels so good to be able to breathe easy for a moment.
My sister came to visit this weekend and brought her handy video camera. I think we will have to get one soon. :) Eliza's starting to enjoy touch and seems to be checking out her surroundings. I hope you share in our enjoyment of this moment. She's so magical to me. :)
Wonderful news! Keep growin', girlie!!
