Pearl weighed 4lbs 12oz. last night so she had a big gain!  She is still off her oxygen and is doing way better than anyone expected.  She hasn't had a spell since Sunday at 4.  Hopefully, if she stays as steady as she is right now, she may still come home this week.  She has to be spell free for five days so that puts us at Friday at the earliest.  She was able to nurse today for the first time.  I didn't let her for very long because I still wanted her to be able to take her bottle.  (She gets a score from the nurses).  I didn't want anything to count against her.  She did great!  She is getting too long for her preemie clothes.  She is 20 inches and not even 5lbs.  Miles was 20 in. when he was born but he weighed almost 8 lbs. 

I found these cute ears at Target and had to get them for Easter pictures.  I realized when I got them home they were for pets!  They still work. 

Pearl is looking cute in her ears as well.  They fit Malorie but are still big on her.

Miles is mad because he didn't get any pet ears.  Not really.  He likes to make this silly face and then laugh his head off.
