Yay for extra calories!...for Olivia anyway!

Now most of us definitely do not want extra calories in our diet, but in Olivia's case, we most certainly do! She started having her breast milk fortified with extra calories today, and so far she has done great with it. So well in fact, that the nurses increased her breast milk to 6cc an hour, equal to 5 ounces a day! WooHoo Liv! With increased milk fortified with calories, Olivia will be 3 pounds before we know it! Thank you God for giving Olivia the strength and health to eat like this!

Also, Olivia is still off of the C-Pap, but she was given oxygen through a simple nasal cannula, like the ones that you are given in the hospital if needed. This was given to her so that she does not have to try so hard, and to just give her a break. Olivia is doing the breathing on her own though! Thank you God, and thank you to everyone for your prayers. She will continue to grow and do well, I just know she will! Please continue to pray for her! Olivia Jane, I am so proud of you sweetheart, and I love you so much!
