Happy One Week Birthday! 1/13/13
Chris
Hattie is sleeping in on her one-week birthday. She deserves it!
Hattie is seven days old today. Just one week ago at 12:44 p.m., our sweet Hattie joined us earlier than expected, but right on time. This has been quite a week for us, and we're proud to say that our little girl is doing so well. We are amazed by her.
Hattie is such a drama queen; she decided she needed another day in the spotlight. Her bilirubin level dropped to a 4.7 this morning! That's great news and hopefully another day under the light will take it completely down. We got the amazing experience of holding her for two days in a row earlier this week and we're hooked. We just can't wait to hold her in our arms again.
Hattie's feedings are continuing to increase as planned. She had a little bit of residual this morning (think of it as leftovers in her tummy), but it is nothing to be alarmed about because she is pooping and not acting out in any other way.
Hattie had her brain ultrasound at 4:30 this morning. We will know the results in the next day or so. Please continue to pray that the scan comes back completely clear.
