I don't think I posted about it here but we have been having weight gain issues. Natalie was barely gaining enough in the nicu to come home. After coming home, she has been barely gaining enough each week to keep her from returning to the hospital. Well, I think she has finally figured out the nursing thing and she's staying awake a lot more now. I think it's because it's past her due date now. Well, tomorrow (Wed) I take her for yet another weight check. She needs to be at least 7lb2oz hopefully more. Please send good weight gain vibes.

Update
She is only 7lb1oz I have to take her back tomorrow so I guess that means more bottles until then.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you both! I'm sure she prefers to be home than the hospital

Good luck . I know exactly how you are feeling. First son was preemie and I felt so much pressure to have him gain. With my second he had iugr and I still try to feed him in dr waiting room for the dreaded scale. He is not a good eater and still undersized. It can be so stressful.... Hoping baby gains for you!

I hope she starts packing it on! I've been wondering how Natalie has been, glad to hear she's been passing each goal, even if it is just barely.
