A Great Week For Natalee!

 12/10/11  Natalee had such an awesome past week.  She met many mile stones this week.  She is now 4 1/2 pounds and is 15 3/4" long and her head circumference is 12".  She is now off her oxygen and now is in an open crib.
 This was the first time Nana got to hold her since in the beginning they just let the parents hold them.  But now she is a "BIG" girl now she gets to be held by her visitors.  This was a special moment for Nana and Natalee. 
She got a bath by mom this day.
 And also got to be snuggled by Nana and Mom.
 Natalee is eating part of her feedings this week by bottle and even started breast feeding too.  Once she is able to eat her full feedings on her own she will get the feeding tube removed from her nose and she can come home.  The doctor said he is thinking about 2 more weeks and then she can come home.  That will be right before Christmas!  We are very excited!
I am in love this this precious girl!  This has been such a long road for our family these past few months but it will be worth every moment when she is home. 
Keep growing sweet Natalee and we all can't wait until you come home!
