Amelia is doing well. Her main problems are: blood glucose stabilization, temperature regulation, and feeding issues. She also had an issue with high bilirubin and low platelets in the beginning. Amelia is on IV fluids right now with extra protein and lipids. Her little IV is in her foot. She also is in a little incubator. As for feeding, we are working on breastfeeding, but she isn't really all that into it. She take breastmilk from a bottle super great though. Right now, we are trying to breastfeed (and then supplement with my breastmilk) every 2 hours (and then I'm pumping every 3 hours). It's quite a schedule!
She has also gained 43 grams, so now she is 1743 grams (her birthweight was 1700).

I'll bet that the feeding schedule is brutal for you! Try to get a little rest- good luck! You're doing a great job. She's already getting plumper:)
