She's a BIG girl!

Our little Abigail...she is such a little trooper. She started her feeds on Wednesday and so far is digesting and tolerating them well. She eats every 3 hours (through the feeding tube in her nose) and is doing so well that they even increased the amount they give her, to a whopping 1.4cc's. As she continues to gain weight they will continue to increase the amount. Last night she weighed 2 pounds 9 ounces! She is getting strong too. When she's on her back and stretches out her arms and legs, she can actually lift her little torso right up off the bed to stretch out her back. I'll try to get a picture of that. When she has tummy time, she sometimes picks up her head a bit to face the other direction, but she gets stuck about half way. She will be 32 weeks on Monday and they are going to start lowering the humidity in her "condo" until they wean her of it completely. It's hard to believe that she's only 5 weeks away from what they consider "full term". Here are some pictures from last night. She spent some quality time getting to know Daddy, and as you can see she was very happy to see him. She just stared at him with wide eyes...it was the sweetest thing.








In other news, I am still on the mend. I have good days and bad. We spend way too much time going from one appointment to another...yesterday it was 7 hours of doctors, hospitals, tests, etc. They say it will be another couple of weeks before I start feeling like myself again. I have a hard time staying hydrated and get tired very quickly. I weigh 30 pounds less than I did 3 days after I had the babies, and it's been hard to eat and drink, but I'm trying. I get frustrated because I want my life back and want to feel normal again. I can't wait to have my strength back. I can't even remember the last time I drove a car. There's so many things I want to do. Since I got pregnant I haven't even been able to go to Babies R Us! I would love to go grocery shopping. Or maybe to the mall. Even a movie would be nice. Blah Blah Blah. I know what you are thinking...shut up and be thankful for what you have. You are right. So I'm done now with my pity party.

I know Ike came barreling through Houston last night, so I hope my BFF and all of my new Texas blogging friends weathered the storm ok. I haven't seen any updates on the blogs so I am assuming most of you don't have power, but know that we are thinking of you all.

The Sundevils play UNLV tonight. Go DEVILS!
