No more feeding tube for Heidi!!! :)

Look at this little princess...

... no more feeding tube! Way to go Heidi!!! :)

Heidi has been making "big steps" in the last several days. (Those were the doctor's words. :D) She's been eating so well (she can gulp down her feedings in about 5 minutes!) that they took out her feeding tube! AND, guess how much weight she put on in the last 3 days?!?! A whopping 125 grams! Normally, she would just put on about 50 grams in 3 days... but 125! Wow! She wants to come home too! :) She now weighs 2,095 grams... only 205 grams more to go before she can come home! The doctor told us today that she thinks she'll be able to come home next week! Oh, wouldn't that be wonderful!!! Great job, Heidi! We love you!
*Look at those little cheeks which are getting quite chubby! So cute! Oh, and take a look at this picture of Heidi and compare it to Hanna's picture on the right. They are starting to look more and more alike!
