A Big Gal

Abby is now in a crib and not in an isolette! She is such a big girl!




Jeff figured out that Abigail's name is very close to saying 'a big gal.' She acts like a big girl. Tonight Abby took her bottle so good. The nurse said that if Abby keeps doing this for 24 hours then we will be looking at going home very soon. We are also supposed to bring her carseat up there so that she can try the 'carseat challenge.' The challenge is that Abby will sit in the carseat for a couple of hours and the nurses make sure that she doesn't have any dips in breathing or heart rate. So we are hopeful, but we know it still could be a little while before she is headed home. We will let you know.


Samantha and Mackenzie are doing great. They are having a good time at Noni's house today. I think they believe that it is like summer camp. They stay with a grandma and then get to see Mom and Dad a little each day. I will post some pics of them and the fun they have had while waiting for Abby to come home.

Pray that Abby will want to drink her bottle and nurse. Pray that Jeff and I will be as rested as possible and be ready for Abby to come home. Pray for Samantha and Mackenzie to continue to handle not having Mom and Dad like they are used to.

Thank you all for your prayers. I cannot tell you all the little and big ways that God is answering your prayers everyday.
