I don't really have much of an update, which is a good thing. Abby has been breathing really well on the cannula so they tried her off of it on Saturday, but she didn't as well without so they put her back on on Sunday. She's breathing room air, which means she's doing most of the work, but the stimulation of the cannula seems to help remind her to breath. All preemies struggle with apnea, the Dr's tell us it's a maturity thing and she'll grow out of it before she goes home. Other than that she's doing fine. We're still breast feedings twice a day, when Abby was off the cannula she struggled but since she's been back on she's been feeding great. They've started dressing her since she can hold her own temp so we brought in some clothes. Gowns with elastic on the bottom are the easiest so all the cords can come out the bottom. We brought in some preemie ones and today she was dressed in one when I went to see her. Matt and I didn't realize that the gown had a lamb on it, so I took some pics for the Lamb family, it's kind of hard to see because I couldn't get her to hold still when I was holding her so I had to take one with her in the issolette. She looks pretty darn cute! (she catches flies a lot when she sleeps!)

She is so gorgeous!!! I think I said this before, but I cannot wait to get my hands on her! Of course the outfit had lambs on it - what else do you expect being born into this wonderful family. Now she needs a Flyers and Phillies shirt. Lots of love and kisses and hugs, Aunt Carol
ahhhh-Ava has te same sleeper!!! she looks beautiful you guys!
She looks like a princess in her pink! Every Lamb child has to have an outfit with lambs and get their picture taken in it. That is tradition! The boys agree with Aunt Carol ~ enough with the lambs and pink now onto some Philly sports' teams. Love to all, Aunt Kim
