WOOHOO!!!

Wednesday was a great day!! We went to another pulmonologist appointment. Little Miss Abigail has made GREAT progress. She was able to graduate from day time oxygen. She is cord free when she is awake. We just hook her back up for night time and her long day time nap -- pretty much anytime she will be in a deep sleep. WOOHOO!!

I LOVE IT!! We were dancing around last night, enjoying that we were not getting wrapped up in any cords. After the appointment we took a quick trip to daddy's work so his co-workers could meet her.

As for her measurement updates: I was not smart enough to pay attention to her length, because I was so anxious for her updated weight. Little Missy now weights almost 12 pounds. They measure in g/kg and then convert it. At her last appointment she weighed around 4.3 kg (I think they said), and she weighed 5.4 kg yesterday. She gained over a kilo in 29 days - the doctor said she was averaging 36g a day. She was very happy with her weight gain. The official conversion they gave me was 11.88 lbs. Abigail has gained almost ten pounds since birth. WOOHOO!!


We have a thumb sucker.... It is very cute!! We do try and give her the pacifier, but she seems to just think this is easier....

24 weeks and counting.... It is getting harder and harder to get this picture. As you can see from the picture below, she has figured out how to move her arms and legs. Her face in the above picture is not that great, but she was holding still.


The swing - one of our new friends. We tried using another smaller one I had bought, but she still does not like it. I let her try a cradle swing at our friends' house, and we were sold on getting one ourselves.

Good for her! And her mom is obviously a musician--"chord" instead of "cord". Tee-hee-hee...
