Baby Addison continues to make good progress. She had yet another IV go bad during the night (#7) and was so close to not needing anymore TPN/Lipids/IV fluids that the nurses convinced the Dr to leave it out :). She is tolerating 20mL every 3 hours well!! Still not eating much by bottle-- most of it goes through her tube. She is just too small and gets tired quickly. They will probably increase the amount tomorrow to 24mL!!
Daddy had a heck of a time changing his precious little sweet pea. I let Tim change her poopy diapers since he wants all the practice he can get. I was holding her and noticed that all too familiar smell and passed her off to Daddy. He put her in the isolette and gathered his supplies. After opening the diaper, sure enough, poopy. He started to wipe her, and she shot out more. Daddy got another diaper out, which she pooped in again before he even had it fastened.... and again a third time!! You would think the 3rd diaper would be the last of it.... but Addison had other plans... the pee went flying. She slept through Daddy's whole ordeal.. but Mommy saw a little smirk. Four diapers later and she was set :). And not a drop on her outfit or blanket!!
We just love our little peanut and are enjoying every moment we have with her. We cannot wait to get her home!!
