Dinner Time (every three hours)

Tennyson continues to grow and eat.  She just started the bottle on Wednesday with only 2 ml.  That was gone in 2 secs.  Then, they bumped her up by 2 ml every other feeding.  Yesterday (Friday) was the first trial run for nursing.  Of course, she was a pro and slurped it down.  We weigh her before and after nursing to make sure she is getting enough.  Then, after nursing, she gets a bottle in case she is still hungry.  Last night, she put about 30 ml down, and during the night, she sucked down 40 ml from the bottle (while mom and dad caught up on sleep).  Everyone seems to believe she will be leaving soon.  We'll see!  Courtney is officially discharged from the hospital, and we are staying at a fantastic Ronald McDonald House.
