We started the morning with the usual call to the NIM. This morning we were told that Hope would only be allowed to eat twice a day from the bottle or from Jen. This was a disappointment for both of us. The doctors want to get Hope to the full feedings -- 44 ml in 30 minutes. They feel this is more important than her eating on her own.
Well Hope ate 7 ml on her first feeding (which is her best) after breast feeding. Then she set a new record of 10 ml when dad fed her at 7:00 pm. So what seemed like a setback in the morning, just once again reassured us that the doctors are so awesome at Butterworth.
Hope continues to gain weight. Her awake periods seem to get a little longer each day. She seems like a very happy and content baby. Tonight's nurse told me she was gorgeous (which I had to agree) and then said her laid back personality even made her cuter!

Hello Deuel Family,
Hope looks so cute in the pics you are posting. We can't wait to come to Rockford. Looks like Ryann and Cam went to Chuck E Cheese and had some fun. We have our Winter Break beginning February 18th and will plan to see you sometime then. Hopefully Hope will be home. Is sounds like she is doing really well and continues to have good things happen daily. What a good little girl!
We love you,
Randy, Sherry, Bo, Blake and Kylie
