Update

Wow!  It's been over 2 months since I've posted last.  As you can imagine, life is busy here taking care of a toddler, preemie and try to keep up with the house and business.  Charlotte is doing great!  She took her feeding tube out of her nose about 2 weeks after she came home for good.  I got sick of reinserting it and I had a feeling she did too.  From that point on she never missed a beat in her feedings.  I usually have to take her to the doctors every other week.  One visit to her pediatrician and one to the eye specialist.  They finally gave me a month off and I don't have to go back until the 3rd week in January YAY!  She is developing great and catching up on her growth chart.  Her eyes still seem to be a little premature still, but that should catch up too.

At her last doctors visit about 2 weeks ago she weight 8lb 13oz and by now should be over 9lbs YAY!  She's come such a long way.  She's doing great, adapting well and just loves her big brother just as much as he adores her.  She sleeps well through the night and it wasn't until last night that I decided if she doesn't wake up in the middle of the night to feed I'm not going to wake her.

Ok, so I thought she was going to get a break from the doctors, but I have to call them tomorrow.  She has some sort of infection that appeared overnight on her left nipple  After consulting with a pediatrician at St Johns, they think maybe it could be mastitis.  UGH!  I had no idea babies could get this.  Hopefully antibotics will clear it up and we'll be good to go.  If you've had it before you know it hurts like heck!

I'll try to update more often, but no guarantees lol
