She's getting so big!!

We arrived in Jackson this afternoon for the weekend.  So good to see our baby girl!  I swear she is getting bigger every time we see her again.  Her face is filling out as well as her arms and fingers.  She had the cutest double chin tonight (she won't think it's cute a few years from now), but it reassures us she really is putting on weight.  It might have had something to do with her O2 tubing but who cares :).  She is 2 lb 1 oz right now.  She did drop from 2 lb 3 oz.  Her chest xrays have been looking hazy so they did 4 doses of lasics (sp?) to draw the fluid off and have started her on a maintenance diuretic to keep the fluid off.  I really think it is working because she has dropped her pressure from 2 L to 1.5L and her oxygen has been ranging from 21%-25%.  Improvement from last week.  Also the doctor said that her last chest xray was an improvement from the last.  I am liking the direction we are going here!  The eye doctor came to see her and said that she looked good and would be back in a few weeks.  She remains at 19ML/3hours on her feedings.  We really don't have too much to report other than we are really doing great and are going in the right direction!

We got to do her bath tonight and they get better every time.  Seriously one of the sweetest times with her.  I squeeze in every forehead kiss she can stand (my favorite place to kiss a baby).  She has started opening her eyes more and wider when we talk to her.  I hope that she can make out our face and recognizes us and our voice.  I will share pictures from tonight.  Rob has a sinus flare-up right now and was the photographer.  We continue to thank God for answered prayers with Ann Martin and continue to ask for prayers for her progress.  We love you all!

Getting ready for bath

Love those kisses

Soaping up
Talking to her the whole time

She is so, so cute when she yawns

Loves her back rubbed down
{How can you not love that face?}

Talking to her

Big blue eyes

Those lights are bright mommy!

I hate that oxygen tubing!
Adjusting it so it doesn't indent her face

We left her SO snuggled!  Made me sleepy :)
