Clara is still in the NICU but Daddy and I get to be with her since Sunday evening. She no longer has an IV because they been able to kick up her feedings to 40ml at a time. I was so flippin happy to have been able to produce enough breast milk they didn't have to mix any formula this time.

She's being weaned off the oxygen slow but steady. Her first day here was at 50%, yesterday she was at 35% and today she's down to just under 30%.

She is under a lamp this morning, I'll post that picture in comments I know it upsets some people but her bilirubin count was only slightly elevated.

The doctor says if they can remove the oxygen line and she breaths fine without losing oxygen levels and without rapid breaths (she originally had a breathing rate of 106 it fluctuates between 30-50 now) she'll be able to attempt breast feeding. If we can do that then she may be able to come home on Thursday! Her brothers and her sister are chomping at the bit to get her home. Layna my oldest child is 40 weeks on Saturday! We really want to be home so that when Rebekah makes her way into the world our family will be whole and complete again.

She's doing really good and she's a strong little bugger and my heart is exploding with so much love for my little one and my family has been so supportive. My mom stayed in the NICU until my husband and I could get here. My daughter and her husband have been keeping everyone up to date on Clara​ and watching over the boys. My mother has been bringing food to my other kids so no one has to worry about anything. I am seriously a blessed woman and an extremely happy one.

I apologise for the long post.
