I'm so tired, so I'll make this short and sweet!
::Drum Roll::
Current Weight: 3lbs 2.7oz
We've hit three pounds!!!!!!!
Today was a good day - I got to hold Abigail for 4 hours and even gave her a bath all on my own! She wasn't too happy about that part. The nurses are letting me take over parts of her care - for example, I now take her temp and change her diaper whenever I'm there. Finally starting to feel like a mama! I've found that even doing these little things for her helps keep the blues away. They seem to creep back up during long car rides home, though...
Now off to bed!

Yay Abigail! Does she have to hit a certain weight to come home? Or does it mostly depend on feeding and growth?
It all depends on how well she does with bottle feeding and if she stops having bradys (random slow heartrates) and apneas (randomly stopping breathing for a short time).
I know they do not send babies home before 4lbs.
lucas did the stop breathing thing for a sec right after he was first born, and the nurses had just left us alone with him. i about had a heart attack! i thought he had died! but the nurse assured me that it happens and that he was fine and he didn't do it again after that first time which i;m so glad of 'cause it was soooo scary!
i can't wait to meet little abigail. we are all rooting for her!!
