So the much anticipated weight check was scheduled right before her 2am feeding. I requested that she be weighed before the 11am feeding just to gauge what we are looking at here.

She was down 8 grams.

Do you know how small 8 grams is...I didn't either...the nurse told me its about a tsp.

And you know they are strict enough here to let that keep us here.

I cried and fed and cried some more.

I noticed her security band had fallen off. I wonder how much that weighs...

Then I went to "sleep". Not really...I couldn't sleep.

The nurse came and took her 10 min ago.... I am waiting.... Praying....

And the verdict is......

She was up by 9 grams!!!!!

WE ARE GOING HOME!!!!!

that may or may not have to so with that little extra breastmilk I gave her 15 min before the nurse came in.

I promise I am an honest person...desperate times.....
