Yes, it is every 3, 24 hrs around the clock.

I tell you, it scares me that she is that tiny. Her little hands are so tiny, and there's no fat on her at all. I love her so much, and I feel like I can't rest easy until she has grown a bit and caught up with her proper weight for her size. The hardest thing in the world is to avoid hovering over my son and DIL, and just step back and let them be the parents I know they can be. My wife and I are wearing out the knees on our pants, praying for her.

Glad she is doing well TAM. Just know that she may never get to the 'proper' weight for her size. Our daughter was not premature, but was always off the bottom of the weight and growth charts. However, she was plenty healthy; just a petite little girl. She is now 21, 4' 11" and still only weighs about 90lbs. She is not skinny or improperly under weight, just a small young lady. :-)

It's been another month now. How are DIL and The Annoyed Granddaughter doing? Picked up a pound or so I hope.

Congrats! She is beautiful!
