Fay is doing exceptionally well. She has a reputation in the NICU as being “too cute to handle”. She has been doing very well with her feedings and is being fed three times a day. There have been a few times, including last night, when she ate so much from Elisabeth that she didn’t need to be supplemented from the feeding tube. The nurse said yesterday that she might be moved to 3/4 feedings a day soon.

Fay weighs almost 5 lbs.  She loves the color pink. Her favorite hobby is pulling at the tape which holds her feeding tube to her face. She loves taking baths. She doesn’t really like having her temperature taken. Fay likes showing off how well she eats when she is being observed by an occupational therapist. She gets the hiccups every time she eats.

Basically, she is adorable and doing awesome.

One note about the very last picture. When Fay was born, she was about the same size as that bear next to her. Look how much she has grown in two weeks!
