Drink, Drink, DRINK!

I was not going to post today due to lack of news. But as we plan not to, plans change too. I received a call from the update queen (Jeanette) that Alexandra's new orders are to take 45ml of milk, 8x day, all by bottle. If she passes this test she will be one step closer to pledging for a sorority during binge week. She already has experience using a syphon to the stomach. So I guess testing her limits at an early stage is a good and bad sign. Needless to say if all goes well in the next couple days she could easily get the car seat test, which is then 24 hours or less away from getting kicked out of the hospital. Her due date was March 13 and our "planned" Cesarean was a week prior. So if she is in fact out before February ends she will be steps ahead of a normal schedule. What is normal?

More news to come. I will be heading to the hospital to shove the 5:30 feeding down her throat. Lets see how it goes.


Here are some past pictures of Amanda and Liana when they were Alexandra's age:
