Also are you taking kids with you? Some do not allow children into the nursery, so might be worth checking that out so noone gets disappointed if they can't go in.
What everyone else has said is right on the money :-)
The weight gain is a HUGE thing for nicu babies. I remember a gain of 10 grams in one day, although it doesn't sound like much - was a gain and a 'win' in my head; however in saying that if DD had gained 50 grams one day and 10 grams the next I'd be concerned big time. Nothing anyone could say could get that thought out of my head. So maybe be prepared for that kind of conversation - although it sounds like you already are.
Thank you so much for replying! No we dont plan on taking the girls in. I mean I would love for them to meet her, but they have the rest of their lives to know her. But I won't let them go in.
Today we are hoping that we will be allowed to see her in a couple of weeks, as she is very sick at the moment. She has a staph infection and is battling it at the moment. We are hoping that she gets well enough by the time we come up to see her, but if we cant then thats ok too....
