5 Lbs!!!

Hey all,

I've only got time for a very quick post tonight. I wanted everyone to know Willow is still doing great. She hit the 5 lb mark today, so that's very exciting. She nipple feed twice today and took 10 mls. for me this morning and 22 mls. for her nurse tonight.

We are both up in Houghton for the next couple days. I'm starting work again tomorrow. Judy was going to go down to Marquette, but they have visitation restrictions because of the swine flu, and only parents can go into the NICU right now. Lindsay will be heading down on Friday, and I'll head back down on Saturday.

I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

See ya,

Josh

She is getting so big and doing so well. My oldest son was 5# 5.5 ounces at birth (38 weeks) so she isnt far behind! Enjoy your time and help with the nurses. It will all be over before you know it and she will be home and all yours. I'm so excited for you guys because there is nothing better than the feeling of bringing your new baby home! I'm sure it will happen soon since she is such a fighter!

Five pounds!! Wow! Congratulations to you, Josh and Linds for all your loving care of that little one. Also to all the grandparents--what a great family Willow has. I would like to add that I greatly admire your NICU nurses for being so "on the ball". Love, G'ma L
