Kangaroo Care

Well, it didn't take very long to get back to my usual self. Here I am at 3:10 am finishing up some items on my "to do" list. I fell asleep watching TV with Chris...actually, that's not really accurate because I don't think I ever actually watched a second of TV. I think my eyes were closed before Chris even sat down on the couch! :-) Anyway, I napped for a couple hours, then woke up and remembered I had some things to do. Oops!


 Phoebe's doing well. I got to give her another bottle today, cuddle with her and give her a quick bath. She's enjoying the bottles for the most part. Her nurse tonight told Chris that she fed her through her tube at 11:00 pm and afterward she was really cranky as if she didn't realize her tummy was full. No bradys today, only a couple desats. She does have a little bit of a stuffy nose, which could mean a few different things. One thing it could mean is that she's starting to have some reflux, which can be miserable for infants, especially for little preemies. So please pray that it's not reflux and that it's nothing serious.

Phoebe and I got to enjoy a special time together today: I tried Kangaroo Care. That's skin to skin contact, like she was in my little kangaroo pouch, and it was wonderful. I could've stayed there all day!

Is this weird to put online? I can't help it! Look how content she looks!

Speaking of stuffy noses, Chris and I both have a cold. So we're not really sure what do to now. On the one hand, we probably shouldn't visit her and risk getting her sick (hopefully we haven't done that already). On the other hand, I can't really imagine not seeing my daughter at least once a day. Please pray that we get over this illness quickly and that we stay healthy...and that we make the wise decision about visiting. Thanks!

The boys are doing well. Joshua's at a sleepover birthday party with friends, and we went to Eat n Park with only Andrew and David tonight. We realized we were there with only half of our children! It was weird...though we did get a chance to actually talk with each other some! :-) I just realized that was my first time in a restaurant since August! Maybe I should've picked something a little nicer than Eat n Park...but the boys love the "cookie restaurant." ha ha!

Speaking of the boys, Andrew is all about jets right now and he LOVES making shapes.

Guess I should get to bed! Have a wonderful weekend, friends!
