Off the continuous feed

Claire has switched from continous feeding to a "bolus" feed (i.e. where she gets two hours worth of milk - 26cc - in an hour and then an hour "off"). She seems to be tolerating it but has not gained any weight (4lb, 10oz) in a couple of days.

Otherwise, it's more of the same - lots of sleeping but some awake time, too - including some brief stretches where she lets it be known that she isn't happy. Some nurses have described her as "feisty" - good when she's 6 weeks old (today), but tougher when she is 6, or 16, years old :-)

From Laura Hudson:

Matt and Jessica, thank you for using this technology to keep us aware of Claire's progress. She's definitely in my prayers and so are you! Glad to hear she's "feisty," as you might imagine, I like that in girls!
:)Love Laura
