New Pics Are Coming!

New pics are on their way. Check back in on Tuesday and I will have some for you all.

This week has been another good week for Abby. Everything is still holding steady on all fronts. The feeding therapy is going well and she is still into the gerber baby food from the spoon and yes, she still hates anything that's in a bottle. Her physical therapist is happy to see that she's begining to gain her balance to sit up. The left arm and leg are constantly getting stretched and worked on by mommy and the therapists. Some days are better than others on this issue but for the most part she is still progressing forward.
Have I talked about Abby's sleeping pattern yet? I don't think I have. Since we can feed Abby through the G Tube at night by way of a pump and a bag of milk that hangs from a pole she sleeps straight through, which is great. But the day time is a different story. She only sleeps about 20 to 30 minutes each time she goes down. So momma gets NO rest. Abby doesn't usually last too long in a bouncy chair or the swing or lying down either. If Kelly get's 15 minutes out of one of those items, it's a miracle. Little Abby wants to be up where the action is! She wants to watch whatever momma is doing. The baby bjorn works for a while, then she might put Abby in that pink round bumbo chair on the counter. After that gets boring I have found that she'll tolerate the high chair as long as we roll the chair to where we are and she feels like she's in the mix with us. And each of these options only give Kelly about 15 minutes or so as well.
Why bring all this up now? Well, at first it was cute and momma could (and still does) handle it. But our new baby boy is coming and Kelly will be able to spend less and less time on her feet taking care of Abby. Even though there's only one baby this time, Kelly is and always will be considered high risk regarding her pregnancies. Apparently, since she had pre term labor before, she's prone to go into pre term labor agian. So! It's time to bring in the prayers again team. I need some prayers that Abby will take longer naps and get better and entertaining herself. Yes, I know....I know. "We told you so! This wouldn't have happened if you guys weren't holding her 24/7" I can hear it a million times over. But c'mon! What did you expect after all that happened? You think we were going to put the Abbygirl down for a milisecond? No way! "Well now you're paying for it..." Right. Got it. But honestly, after 4 years of infertility treatments, getting pregnant was the LAST thing we thought would happen. That's actually why we started so soon. We figured shoot, it took us four years to get the girls, so we better get on this right away.
Anyway, now I'm just rambling. Back to the point at hand. Prayers my friends. Please pray for a successful pregnancy for Kelly and that Abby will be able to give momma the rest she needs.

Again, the new pics will be coming Monday night.

Take care....
