Update

Last night when we saw Abigail she dropped 20 grams, but it wasn't enough to change her pounds and ounces. Still 3 lbs 1 oz.

We talked with our nurse about her progress and found out about some milestones she has to reach. To get out of the isolette (warmer) they usually require babies to be 1800 grams. Right now Abby is 1380 grams, but she is roasty toasty in her little bed and may get out of it before the 1800 grams. Then she has to prove that she can gain weight consistently in a regular bed, since she will be using more energy to stay warm at that point. Abby also has to take every feeding from a bottle. She likes the bottle, but it wears her out to take it at every feeding right now. So we have no set date for when she will be coming home, but we will definitely let everyone know as it gets closer.

Abigail is developing just like any other new born. She stays awake much longer than before and really likes taking her bottle. I will try to post some video we have of her with the hiccups. She also only grunts or makes noise when she needs to burp. I think we have a video of that too. It is really cute, as soon as she burps she gets quiet and is ready to finish her bottle. She drinks about one ounce and usually needs burping 2 to 3 times.

All of the nurses love on Abby and it is great to have such wonderful ladies caring for our sweet baby girl.
