3 weeks old

I am happy to say that Elyse had a pretty uneventful weekend, although she did get to meet her uncle David and soon-to-be aunt Megan on Saturday, which was exciting.  The doctors were happy with her blood work this morning and have decided to resume her feedings (hooray!).  They are going to take things very slowly -- starting out at 1mL every 4 hours.  But as long as she tolerates it well, the quantity should increase every 24 hours.  She is already three weeks old today, and is weighing in at 1190g, or 2lbs 10oz.

Emmett ended up going to my parent's on Friday night for an impromptu sleepover, which gave Matt and I the chance to have a nice long visit with Elyse on Friday night and an even longer one on Saturday, complete with extra-long cuddles.  It also gave us the chance to sleep in, which was very much appreciated.  Between the late nights and early mornings, my 3-hour pumping schedule, and Emmett's less-than-stellar sleep patterns right now, it's safe to say that we are definitely going to be good and primed to have a newborn in the house again!
