Big Update! Our little Avery had a big week. First of all, as of last night, she has crossed the 4lb mark! We could not be more proud of her. She is officially 4lbs 0.6oz. :) She is moving right along in her weight gain, so, she should be able to come home in 1-2 weeks. Basically, in order to come home, she needs to weigh at least 4lbs 7oz; she needs to be able to maintain her body temperature on her own (which she is already doing); and she needs to be able to take every feeding on her own for 24-48 hours. So, we are working on that and we encourage her each day and tell her that she can come home with mommy and daddy as soon as she reaches those goals!
Another big moment for Avery this week...she graduated from her incubator to a bassinet! So, she is now out in the world and loving every minute of it. That also means we can hold her more often. Which is the best part of our day...
The nurses have been amazing and help, encourage, and love Avery every day. We are so blessed to be surrounded by so many nurses who simply adore our little girl!
Here are some pictures from this week...and our time spent with our little one.
She's already thinking it...Touchdown Cowboys!
Bathtime for Avery
Happy girl. Just had a bath, cuddling with mom and dad and ready to eat!

Josh and Erin, how beautiful she is and you both are! I'm so happy for you. However, I do think she is saying "Go Vikings!" - that is what it looks like to me! Ciao...Cheri
