They did start her on a diuretic yesterday because she was starting to get puffy. So that's something she'll have to grow out of.
Last night she weighed 4lb. 7.7oz. She should be about 5lbs. when she comes home. Ryan was 6lb. 4oz. and he seemed so little to us, so I can just imagine this! LOL. She's been eating every 4 hours, about 50-55cc's at a feeding, which is almost 2 ounces!
They want us to stay over Friday night with her before taking her home. We also have some videos to watch sometime this week while we're there...carseat safety, shaken baby syndrome, and CPR. And this weekend at home we'll hopefully be getting everything ready for her to come home, so we're not doing it all last minute. We have to get her bassinet and swing set up and maybe her crib. I also need to get some last minute things at the store, like diapers and pacifiers. Also, have to try to install the carseat and make sure we get a good fit and she'll have to have her carseat test this week before coming home, to make sure she doesn't have any problems breathing or anything like that while sitting in it.
I bet this week will go fast! So much to do, so little time! LOL.

Congrat, Jen. I know you are so excited to get her home. My oldest was full term and only weighed 6lbs. I remember how tiny she seemed, so I know Brooke will seem super tiny to you. She is a doll!
