Breathe deep

I should have known that that Friday the 13th would somehow disrupt things. It did. Emma went back on CPAP on that day. So this is good and bad. Good because it's helping Emma breathe better as she is growing faster than her lungs can handle. Bad because I can't breastfeed her or give her a bottle. We want her healthy and strong before she comes home so we will be patient a little while longer. Back on the rollercoaster! Other than that Emma is doing well. She is a few grams short of 5 lbs. I would imagine that she has probably hit the 5 lb marker by this evening. Way to go!
