First Bath




I got to give Tiffany a bath on Tuesday for the first time (well, for the first time that I gave it to her). She loved having her head rubbed, but washing the rest of her body she didn't really care for. They took off all her monitors and tape off her face, so it was nice to see her looking like a normal baby - well, a normal baby with an IV in her foot. They took the feeding tube out of her mouth and put one through her nose, now she can practice sucking on a paci. She has been pooping and eating really well. Last night she was eating 6.5cc and they are increasing it. By the way, there are 30cc in an ounce. Because she is eating so well, they are not doing the PICC line anymore. They feel she is doing well enough on her own and doesn't need it. She currently is 2 lbs 13oz!!!!


Last night I took my friend Tiffany Browne to see her. Tiffany is here visiting from Maryland for the next week, and I'm so excited!!! She brought her 8 month old son Garrett with her, and he is huge! Elle and Ashlee have had fun playing with him and practicing for when we get to bring baby Tiffany home.


Thank you for all of your support and phone calls. It really is nice knowing we have such a wonderful support group around us.


Love - Sarah
