bad blogger, bad bad blogger

I have really been slacking in the NICU and life updates on the blog, mainly because there is no change and therefore nothing to update.  I kind of took a break from life, blogging and pretty much everything else for a few days and did nothing but cry. This last set back (for eating) in the NICU really had me feeling defeated. But now i picked myself back up and i am ready to do this!
Avery is still in the NICU, today was day 81. Her due date is a mere 6days away and we don't really have any signs of her coming home. Although today was a really up day, she took all of her feedings by mouth, which is definitely a step in the right direction. Tomorrow i will be spending the day at the hospital so that i can try and get her to take all her feeds again lets hope this works and we can get baby girl home sometime soon.
Avery's "nicu boyfriend" as i call him, her very first neighbor in the NICU. He is a 25weeker and i have posted about him before (baby boy S). Anyway, he is being discharged on Friday!!!!!! I am so beyond excited for his family but am really going to miss him. He has certainly come a long way from when i first saw him on the vent!
Avery is currently 6lbs 15oz, still wearing preemie clothes but has now outgrown the preemie sleepers. She is 17in long and so amazing. I cannot wait for my girls to meet for the first time!
Chloe is doing pretty good, working on potty training and just being her almost 3yr old self. She is too smart for her own good and she just amazes me everyday. I really love being a mommy to my girls.
