Hi Dee Hoe Neighbors!

Ooops, is it Tuesday night already? Sorry about that! It's like this...I had to see a guy about this thing and then take a drive down to this place to drop something off and I got a flat tire and had to hitch hike back home in the back of a truck with a stinky dog and...uh...yeah. That's what happened. Honest...

So anywho, on to the Abby Girl. She is doing well but there is definitely room for improvement. She is STILL only 14 lbs, 8 oz. We were told that we really need to push her on her feeding. The catch here is that if we increase her feeding too much she'll toss her cookies. And when Abby throws up, it's like the barf o rama from the movie Stand By Me. No joke. We're talking some serious projectile vomiting here folks. This is why I'm always hesitant to push her. My take has always been, why force 1 more ounce of milk in her and risk losing the entire meal? But I also see her therapists point. She MUST have a bigger stomach if she is ever going to get more food. So, we're going to increase her feeding but at the same time be very careful about how fast we feed her and all that.
Another issue is her left arm. This is an area that is actually doing pretty good. She is really using it a lot more these days. She can still do better though and we're going to start putting her left arm in a little brace every day. The brace will force her hand to remain in the correct position as opposed to always being clinched in a fist all day. I'll keep you all posted on this as well as her feeding.
Eddie and mommy are doing well. Kelly just had a doctor's appointment and things are holding steady. She is contracting every so often but since she's been so good with her bed rest and has stayed off her feet, the contractions haven't increased too much yet. We're at 31 weeks and 4 days right now! We need to get to 36 weeks though so we STILL have another 4 weeks! Kelly is going CRAZY!!! But with all the help we're getting from our family, our meals from church and all the prayers from you guys, we're getting by just fine.
And finally, just when you thought she couldn't get any cuter, think again. I can't stand it. Look at this little nugget.
