Rollercoaster

Our sweet Jocelyn Rose:)

A trip to the park with Abby.

Yesterday a man came through the NICU and played music for the babies. Such a sweet volunteer:)

A picture of Childrens Hospital all lit up for the holidays.

What a day! Jocelyn is off the billi lights today. YEAH!! This means we get to hold her. She is such a snuggle. Eating was hard most the day but I think we may have figured her out at her 6:00pm feeding. We have to change her diaper in the middle of the bottle to keep her awake. We also found a nipple that works a little better for her. The goal is 3 consecutive feedings at 3 hours apart where she eats 55 ml of milk. When she does this they say she can come off of fluids. She did really well at 6:00 pm and ate 62 ml (the most ever). I was breast feeding her but there was no way to accurately count how much she was actually getting. We would weigh her before and after but the nurses would sometimes find that she lost weight after she nursed (makes NO sense because I KNOW she was eating). Chris and I decided the fastest way to get out of here would be to pump and then bottle feed.

Abby came for a nice visit today and Chris and I took her to Point Loma Seafood for lunch. Abby had fun looking at the "eagles"(this is what she thinks she should call seagulls). It was nice to get away for a little while. Abby is doing just fine:) She has so many people to love her and take good care of her.

Thank you to everyone for the support. It is making this experience easier on us. We can't wait for you to meet our special little girl.

xoxo,
Becca and Chris
