Holding Steady


Not much to report today. Bella's weight has gone down a bit (1-oz so she's now only at her birth weight 2lb 13oz.) so the nurses and the weekend doctor are saying that they only want us to hold her an hour at a time and then put her back in her bed for at least 30 min. to warm her up. They think she might be using some of her calories to keep warm. Grant and I didn't really think we were holding her very much or enough to let her get cold, but whatever it takes to get her big and strong so we can take her home.

As for the house, they floors are continuing to be put in. The living room, dining area and kitchen are all done as well as the master bedroom. We are putting in dark wood laminate. They look beautiful!
If you want to see a short video on the NICU at the hospital where Bella is receiving excellent care go to the following link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZT-mnCzTvc

Robyn and Grant-
Just got home and was floored to read your little one is here. I am so glad she is doing well and that you can celebrate the "poo". It only gets better...be thankful for potty training.
Please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do. I'm not that far away.
xxoo
