Oh. My. Goodness. I am so glad Eric caught our baby girl with her eyes open! We have been trying and trying to get one, but she always seems to close her eyes when I click the camera. Thankfully, the last few days she has been more alert before it is time to eat, and she seems to stay awake for a little while after her feeding. Anyway, he got this one today, and I LOVE it! :)
Seriously. How sweet is that face?!
Here is the latest info about baby girl Jackson:
-She is now eating 23 ccs of milk at each feeding. They are adding calories to it to help her gain, so hopefully she'll turn a corner soon and start packing on the pounds! I wish it was as easy for her to gain as it is for her Mommy! :)
-Her breathing is about the same. She is on 3 liters of Vapotherm, and it takes a while for babies her size to get used to it. She loves laying on her belly (easier to breathe), but she's getting better at laying on her back.
-Addie is an all-around content baby! We love just sitting in the NICU and looking at her. We can't get enough of her! :)
Thank you all for continuing to pray for Addie and for us. The past 10 days have been a major adjustment in our lives, but we are managing to figure things out finally. We keep reminding ourselves that God is in control of this whole situation... resting in His hands makes life so much easier. :)
