Yesterday, Thursday May 12, 2011, one day shy of three weeks old, I got to hold her! I cried! Such a wonderful feeling. So thankful! My heart was so happy!
I was so fortunate to get to leave work early yesterday and take Kayla to Springfield and spend the day with her a little Audrey. She weighed 4lbs and 7oz today. She is still being fed thru a tube. They will start trying to feed her with a bottle at 33 weeks “gestation” which is about another week and a half. But right now she is up to a “normal” feed of 37ml every three hours . And she is still tolerating her feeding really well and all of your care givers seemed to be very pleased with her progress. She had graduated from the really hi-tech, expensive Giraffe bed to an Isolate incubator. And she is now able to wear “big girl” clothes. Thank goodness the hospital has clothes because little Audrey doesn’t have any yet.
And Lacy, one of Kayla’s friends, made this tiny adorable flower head band. Even the tiniest little girl needs a head band.
And then I love this one where Audrey is looking at Kayla and holding onto her finger.
And then just a couple of other shots . . . Audrey opened her eyes and stayed awake longer today than ever before.
Such a big yawn for a little girl.
And in this picture, I think you look like your brother, Drew.
Speaking of, I really miss taking pictures of him. I have to figure out a way to keep him still or interested in something. It is almost impossible to get a good picture at this age.
