Visiting Lyza

I spoke with the Doctor

last night and she increased

Lyza's feeds up to only bottles 

when she's awake and alert.

She is doing well but gets tired 

sometimes and they have to finish

feeding her by the tube.

She is gaining weight though and

weighs 5 lbs 3 oz.

We're just waiting for her to gain 

more weight and eat consistently

from a bottle.  It's taking 

FOREVER! 

I think she just likes the extra attention.

Little does she know how much fun it

  is at home.  

(or maybe she wants to stay at the hospital

because she saw the headbands I'm going to put on her head)

  

Happy 60th Birthday, Mom!

Yesterday I went to get my hair done and got a "wild hair" and colored my hair brown.  My hair usually doesn't take color that well so we went darker than normal and it turned out almost black. AHHHH!  It will take some getting used to but I like it.  I think.  When I got home after getting it done Noah kept saying "You look ugly, mom."  Nice.

The other day Ellie was holding 

Brynlee and said 

"Mom!!  Brynlee can

already cross her eyes!"

I've had so much fun dressing her 

up and putting flowers in her hair.  

What a darling little girl.

We are having so much fun with Brynlee home.  Ellie, Abbie, and Noah came home the same day Brynlee did and were so excited to meet their little sister.  My mom brought them down and has been such a great help.  I've been able to still go out to see Lyza because my mom stays home with the kids.  We really appreciate her help.
