Update 3 (November 19th)

Autumn is still doing well. She is slowly gaining weight. She gets weighed every night. Autumn needs to gain about 4 more ounces before she can move upstairs to the Special Care Nursery. This is where they put the babies that are more stable, and just need to grow before they can go home. This is just one of the things the doctors consider when determining which babies are ready for the move.

She also seems to be tolerating her feedings well. Even though she is still pretty little, she acts like she is ready to eat, so Carl tried to give her a bottle yesterday. She messed with it a little, but she still has a few weeks to go before she gets the coordination down. She is still doing well breathing room air.

  1. HI All,

    It's so great to be able to see a new picture of Miss Autumn Marie.
    From what you said about her moving all over the place, you may have to nickname her " Scooter"! We are all so happy to see her doing so well, and will be really excited to see her " Graduate " to the Special Care Nursery. She has made so much progress already, I'm sure she's up to the task.
    Luv to you all,
    Mom and G Duke
