They're Baa-ack!

...Grace's cheeks, that is.

It's so good to see those chubby cheeks again! We've been home a little over a week, and she already appears to be putting some weight back on. We will get the official word on Tuesday, when we go into the pediatrician for her weight check. We have done away with the syringe, and Grace has been drinking from a bottle consistently for the last several days. She has 6 feedings per day and has met her 34-36 ounce goal or come very close to it most days. We still have many feeding issues to work through, though. I have offered her some solids this week (rice cereal/bananas), and she has had very little interest in eating them. Calorie-wise, she's doing fine, but she definitely needs to get back on board with solids at some point! Yesterday evening, I gave her some Gerber Puffs (basically cereal that dissolves really quickly), and she ate several of them and seemed to really enjoy them. However, late last night, she threw up in her bed and has been very fussy about eating today (and has not come close to meeting her goal.) This has me a little nervous and, of course, feeling mad at myself for feeding her something that made her sick! I don't know exactly what this tells us, but at the very least, it tells us that she is not completely well. Please pray that this will be a very short-lived problem and that the desire to drink her formula will return!!! (Like, tonight!)
