All indications were that Annellice was to come home today. Unfortunately that didn't happen due to a slight decrease in her weight last night (10 grams) and a slowing in the quantity of food she is taking each feeding. The rules are that the baby must gain weight the night before being sent home...turns out it was a faulty reading because tonight she was 3 ounces heavier than she was on Monday night. The doctor said, "That sometimes happens". Maybe so, but what a bummer. We were looking forward to having a little one at home this evening.
Oh well! The new rumor is tomorrow. We'll just have to wait for tomorrow to find out.
In other news, Alexandra has been increased to bottle feedings for all 8 meals. She is given 30 minutes to take as much as she can and then any remaining is pushed down her feeding tube.
