Holding and Cuddling

We went up to visit Baby A with the hopes of holding Baby A. Unfortunately, I caught a little stomach bug, so I was put on camera duty. It was wonderful watching Reed and Ms A hold Baby A for the first time. Both of them were so excited. Ms A even was brave enough to ask the nurse for her turn. :) Here are a couple of pictures.

Daddy's turn. He had to {gently} growl a little to her. {Reed did the same thing to Ms A when I was pregnant. She even recognized his growl when she was a few months old.} I caught Miss A in between smiles, when I asked her if she wanted a new picture she said no. She was concerned about the flash on Baby A's eyes. She's such a great BIG SISTER! 

Ms A's turn. Check out that grin!!!

Some of her progress:
2012 3-9 Taken off her CPAP {she's breathing on her own!} She still has a couple of prongs in her nose to assist her.

2012 3-9 She also was taken off her K pad {a little heat generating pad to help her stay warm}. She can maintain her body heat better. We still needed to cover her with a blanket when we held her.

Current weight: 2 pounds 6 ounces. her low weight was 2 lbs, 5 ounces. She's gained one ounce or 10 gram with last nights feedings.

She started out with 5 mg of milk and now is eating 7 mg every three hours.

Her nurse adore her and say she's doing a FABULOUS job!

Thank you for your kind thoughts, love, support and prayers. You are helping us and our newest little one in ways you cannot know.  THANK YOU!!!

Hopefully this little bug I have passes quickly, so I can get my fill of holding and cuddling her.
