Doing FABULOUS!

My sweet little Ella is doing amazing. Yesterday she started drinking the whole bottle and she has never looked back! Today she went from feeding every four hours to being fed "on demand" which means she can eat whenever she wants to. It also means that because she does demand food and takes appropriate amounts they removed her feeding tube (and I don't think it will ever need to be put back!). Barring any change in her status I cannot see ANY reason why she shouldn't be released in a few days. That being said I did just sign a consent for her to get her Hep B vaccine. I went back and forth on whether or not to sign it, but this way she is on a monitor in a hospital and we will now if she really can't tolerate vaccines (she may be allergic to a component) or if we just had a fluke with the last ones. As much as I don't want to extend her stay if she has a reaction at least it will happen at the hospital and not my house.
We do have ICPC clearance which means I can legally move her from Florida to Utah. For those of you who don't know her adoption is not final so I do not have legal custody of her the adoption agency does. I expect her adoption will be final in October.
It is kind of sick how much I love this child. I can litterally just sit and watch her sleep. She is beautiful. She has dimples in each cheek although the one on the right is more pronounced. Her hair is just now starting to hold a small amount of curl. She has 2 or 3 chins and chubby cheeks. Her thighs are also starting to get a little chunk to them. She is very compact and "squatty". Neither of her genetic parents are very tall, and that in combination with her situation means she will likely aways be short. I doubt she'll be as tall as me as an adult. She is currently 4 pounds 9 ounces and 16 1/2 inches tall. She is also starting to get her true pigmentation (I think) she is delicious.
I can't wait to get this child home. I have ALOT of things that need to get done before I go back to work.
And after all that reading I must apologize. I didn't take pics today, but I will tomorrow as she has a tube free face! Also Grandma is going back to UT and she requires daily pics!
