Abigail is doing really good growing and spending more time awake. She is still setting off her alarm every once in a while. It has never been severe enough to scare us, but it still isn't fun hearing it go off and knowing she is having trouble.
After going to the doctor for a weight check last week we were told we could let her sleep a little more at night. So we are working on that. The most she has slept between feedings is 3 1/2 hours. We aren't letting her go too far, until we see that her growth is doing good with the space between feedings. So far so good.
Since we have been home for two weeks I am getting a little antsy about being at home all the time. If you know me at all you know I am not a germ-a-phob, and I like to visit people all the time. So, telling people that they can't come over is really hard! My goal is to let a few adults come over after she hits 5 pounds. It will be a while before other kids are let around her. Church is another thing. We are still working out what we should do about going. Jeff and the big girls will start back this week, while Abby and I stay home.
I am posting some new pics, but in uploading them to post I found out I have been a little busy and not taking pictures like I thought. So, Sorry there aren't more. I will try to do better in the coming days.
Your prayers are so wonderful and I know that God is providing for us. Pray for Jeff's rest as he begins to return to normal work schedule and less working at home. Pray for my rest. My rest is directly affected by Abigail's ability to digest her feedings and not grunt at night, and by my big girls sleeping through the night. (Mackenzie fell out of bed last night and joined me for the 2 am feeding.) Pray for Samantha as school approaches. Pray that we can shift our schedule to earlier bed times and earlier getting up. Pray for Mackenzie that she will not miss her big sister too much when she starts school back.
You all are a blessing to us and we thank you for loving us and praying for us!
