Phoebe's Progress 11/22/10

Phoebe is now officially one pound heavier than her birth weight! She weighed in tonight at 4 lbs 6 oz. It may sound crazy, but I think you can actually see the added weight, especially around her face and arms. She still has her cute little chicken legs, though! :-)


Phoebe had a good day. She was apparently cranky overnight, but she was peaceful and content for Mary Ann all day. I guess she just missed Mary Ann!  Once again, I had to just sit by her bedside for a couple hours without holding her or touching her. I still have this cold, and though it is improving, I really don't want to risk getting her sick. I don't want to risk getting any of the other babies sick either, so I kept a mask with me and ran out of the room if I felt a need to cough.

No bradys today, she took several bottles by mouth, and her bed temp continues to come down. Slowly, she is inching closer and closer to coming home. I realized today that I'm actually looking forward to late night feedings, the smell of A & D ointment, and that mental fog brought on by lack of sleep!


Chris and the boys got the Christmas lights up outside today. It was such a beautiful day, so as soon as school was over we headed outside and played and then "helped" Chris. We also put Andrew's new booster car seat in the van so we can try to teach him to buckle his own seatbelt because he'll move in the backseat with Joshua when Phoebe comes home. I wonder how many times I'll have to pull over the van because Andrew has unbuckled his seatbelt??!! And I wonder how many times I'll have to threaten to pull over the van because Andrew and Joshua are bothering each other??!!
