Happy 4th of July!



Harper is ready for the Fourth of July! Her crib is all decked out with red, white and blue blankets and she has on a cute outfit and a pretty blue bow in her hair! All thanks to Kary, Jennifer, and Ashleigh (and Daddy who dressed her tonight). She is doing so good. She weighs 4 lbs 1.4 oz! Woohoo....4 pounds! I can hardly believe it, but I am so thankful to God for it! Her feedings have been increased to 40 mL, and she is improving with her nursing, which we do 3 times day. She is getting some milk every time, although sometimes it is only 2 mL. She does brady sometimes still, but not every time so that is getting better, too. She is doing good keeping her temp up on her own, so as soon as they have a regular crib for her she will graduate out of the isolette. They expect to have one tomorrow after a baby is discharged. Tuesday is still a big day for her with her eye exam happening. We are praying for regression, but will try to be prepared for what ever happens. Also on Tuesday Baby "M" will be having her surgery, so please be in prayer for her that everything goes smoothly. Baby Addison is doing great tonight, too! Her vent levels were much lower today and it is so uplifting to see her keep having good days! Her sweet parents made Harper some bows for her hair and bought her a really cute shirt, too. I will put a pic up of Harper in it when she wears it. All three girls will have matching bows! We plan on taking a picture of the girls together every year around their birthdays (we will have to pick one day in the middle since they are all a few weeks apart) so we will need to have matching outfits for them every year! Can't wait for the first picture of the three of them together...wonder if we will get one in the NICU before the first one gets discharged. Maybe we need to take one now of the mommies together to post here...then we can look back years from now and be thankful we aren't so stressed out anymore, lol! Thank you, Rachel and Phillip for the bows and shirt! I hope everyone enjoys the 4th tomorrow, be safe and have fun!
