Mazie is kickin' ass, and takin' names. She's nippling most of her feeds the whole way now. The nurses are beginning to talk about 'ad lib' feeding, which means rather than force her to eat every 3 hours, they feed her when she's acting hungry, just as we would at home. It's just about the final step before what the call 'rooming in', which is basically spending the night in a room at the hospital with her. The nurse we spoke with today puts it at max two weeks. That particular nurse has worked in the NICU for 25+ years... so we're putting some stock in what she's saying.

Mazie's also over 5 pounds now. She's a little piggy!
