Happy New Year to everyone! I hope you all had a safe holiday. We had a nice quiet night this year which was nice. Matt's family was down for a visit. His sister, mom and niece came down to see Abby. As you can see below, Leah and Roxy had a good time together! Anyway, everything with Abby is good. She was 3.7lbs was she was weighed on Thursday, so she's definitely packing on the lbs! She's been doing really well with feeding, I breastfeed twice a day and they are trying the bottle for her other feeds to try to get her taking all of her feeds by mouth. They'll probably start out with every other feed by mouth and work up to every. They did three feeds in a row yesterday by mouth and when we tried to breastfeed she was totally pooped! They also moved her out of her issolette and she's now in a 'crib'. (It's the beds they have in the nursery) She's been holding her temperature really well so the crib is the next step. It's exciting to see her in a big girl bed. Yesterday was the first time they actually talked to us about Abby coming home. I thought I was ready for a baby but now I'm freaking out! It'll probably still be about 2 weeks, but they're trying to prepare us. She will still have to be on some meds for her lungs so she'll have to come home on a monitor, which they'll train us to use. We'll probably stay over night in the hospital right before she comes home-in a room with her-to get used to everything. It's nice because the nurses are right next door if we need them-if only they could come home with us! We don't know how long she'll be home because we'll be headed to CHOP pretty soon after to discuss when she'll be having her surgery. It'll be nice to have her home for a while in the mean time. And thanks to every one's gifts she'll be very well dressed while she's here!
Here a few pics from NYE.....

Poor Leah is getting attacked by Roxy, she kept going after the belt on her robe....

Here's daddy with Abby......

This is her in her crib with her cute 2008 shirt...

For once she was actually wide awake!
