Pearl is chugging along. She gained again last night and is up to 4lbs 2oz. Her wrist sore isn't looking any better so they tried to culture it again yesterday. It might be some kind of infection. She is bottle feeding pretty well. She hurt my feelings though yesterday. I tried to nurse her but she was too sleepy. She has never been able to do it but I keep trying. So then I tried to give her the bottle and she at maybe 10ml and sat there. I tried for 10 minutes and she was too sleepy. The nurse tried and she immediately ate the whole thing in about 30 seconds. I tried to tell myself that I was just too cozy for her but who knows.
Malorie is good. She had a low grade temperature yesterday. I thought I just had her bundled up too much but it lasted for a few hours. It was around 99.6. I called the Dr. and they said if it got over 100 to bring her in. It finally came down so I'm not sure what that was all about. Hopefully we will stay cool today. I think she has her days and nights mixed up as she has to be woken up to eat during the day but at night she wants to get up every two hours to eat. I'm going to try and keep her awake today. We will see how that goes.

Malorie decided to waive hello as I was trying to get a picture with her eyes open.
Miles finally has someone to play with on his play mat. He was showing her the butterfly. For Malorie's own protection she couldn't lay there very long. Her brother doesn't know his own strength! Or maybe he does...
