I got to give Abby a bath all by myself today - kind of scary. I am sure I could have ended up asking for help, and someone got it ready for me and was in the room changing out her bed.... I was planning to wait for John, but we needed to do the bath before her 5:00 cares. She tolerated it really well. We didn't have to adjust her oxygen, and she stayed pretty calm. I was nervous I would end up having her slip out of my hand as I did what John and I did together last time.
Other than her weight gain, there is not much to report. We love being in the private room. It is nice to be able to watch a little TV while we sit with her. She continues to become more alert. Yesterday she ate 26cc out of her 35cc feeding with the nurse - before I got there. Today she got to try the bottle three times, but didn't get as much as yesterday. However, it was kind of funny when I got to try on time number three today: She ended up not really being interested - so we stopped; but we were all surprised when she had actually drunken 5cc. Good Job Abigail!!
Modeling one of her new outfits from Saturday's shower
Look what we did for Family Home Evening this week -- Abby won't be using her new room right away, but we have been working on getting it finished before she comes home.

She is growing up so big! You'll get the hang of the bath thing soon and will wonder when she was so tiny!
