December 9

Maggie is still doing great. She is feeding with bottles (or nursing) four out of 8 times each day. Once she is eating completely with the bottle she can come home! I keep telling the doctor that I am so nervous about bringing her home too early as Maggie is progressing so quickly - much faster than anyone ever thought. But he reassures me that they will not send her home until she is absolutely ready. But it could be before Christmas! So when I am not up at the hospital I am trying to get organized at home. I think the "nesting" that pregnant women experience later in their pregnancies is happening to me now since I technically should be pregnant right now. I have been cleaning out every closet in the house and labeling everything and making huge piles for the goodwill. I love knowing where everything is again! Slowly but surely our lives are getting back in order. And it feels good.
