Weight Check Continued Again . . .

Emily was weighed and measured again this afternoon. Since three days ago she has gained 12 ounces and grew 1/2"! That's some amazing progress! The formula (cow milk based) Dr. Joyce gave us on Tuesday didn't settle well with Emily's stomach, so yesterday we switched to a soy based formula. Her stomach not only handles it better but she's REALLY eating fast and well from a bottle now! Before this week she would only take 2-3 ounces from her bottle and it would take her about an hour to do that. Today alone she has eaten almost 15 ounces from the bottle and didn't fuss at all while doing so! She must really like that formula! Dr. Joyce wants us to keep fortifying the milk 3x/day for the next two weeks and then have Emily weighed again. But things are definitely improving . . . YEAH!! :)
