Bethany is now 5lbs 8oz. She is doing good. Her liver looks better and better each week. She has a huge gag relflex, which makes it hard for her to eat and swallow. She also has a bad case of reflux. We need these two issues to get better before she can come home. We are working with an Occupational Therapist to help her take a bottle. She has to be able to nipple a bottle because my breast milk has to be supplemented with formula and she needs to take vitamins also. She is having a GI study done to make sure everything is functioning properly. She likes to nurse and does well with that. She is awake more and very alert when awake. We're looking at a few more weeks in the NICU.
I dressed her up in one of the outfits Aunt Shanny gave her. Then the nurse coordinated her bedding to match for the photo. 2/20/12.
Alexa weighs 7lbs 8oz. She is steadily staying 2 pounds heavier than Bethany. She loves to eat and sleep. She is starting to smile now.
These photos were taken the same day at the hospital. Alexa was hanging out in the waiting room. They both LOVE their pacifiers!!!
