Hey everyone! Abigail was 16 wks. old on Mon.(8/4) & was full term on 7/23. She is getting big! She now weighs 8 lbs. 5 oz. & has rolls on her arms & legs. I never thought that we'd have a chubby baby! They are continuing to bottle feed & I have started to breastfeed her. Learning to feed by mouth may be a slow process, but we hope she'll get the hang of it before too long. The still have her ng(nose) feeding tube in until she can be fed by mouth on a consistent basis. She's having a little bit of a hard time because her gag reflex is still very sensitive. She loves her baths, especially getting her hair washed. She continues to do good on nasal canula. We have her rainforest swing & bouncy seat set up in the family room at home. She loves to fall asleep in her swing in the NICU. They haven't given us a send home date yet. It just depends on how well she starts to progress with her mouth feedings. Stay tuned for further updates on Abigail!
Michele & Kurt
