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.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
