Abigail is doing great. We weighed her last night and she is up to 4 pounds 7 ounces. So she is gaining about an ounce a day. Really good! She has set off her monitor about once every other day or so. So far the only alarm she has is set off is slow heart rate. She recovers on her own and it isn't near a scary as it sounds. Abby has alarmed a couple of times just laying in her bed, which is something new. Usually an alarm happens during a feeding if it is going to happen. There is a nerve in the back of the throat that drops heart rate when swallowing. Her little body is still learning to regulate that drop and not let it get too low. The alarms that have happened in her bed I have no clue about.
We got the girls a pool for the back yard. It is about 30 inches deep and 10 feet wide. The girls love it! We figured that it wouldn't be much fun being stuck around the house since Abby can't go anywhere yet.
Thank you all for your continued prayers. God has provided for us in all kinds of ways. I know He is hearing you. Please pray that Abby's body develops past the different needs for the monitor. Pray that Jeff and I get rest, and have wisdom in parenting while tired. Pray for Samantha and Mackenzie to grow in their love for their sister and for each other.
