My Helper

First we'll start with an update. Nikki is doing great, up and about, practically dancing down the halls now when she goes to the NICU. May be coming home tomorrow. Kaleigh just keeps getting better and better. Every time they check her blood sugar it has improved and that means her glucose is decreased in the IV, hoping the IV will be out tonight or first thing tomorrow morning. Every feeding she is eating more and more, a good thing. She might come home tomorrow or Thursday, we of course are hoping for tomorrow.

Here's a picture to show what beautiful fingernails she has. All we can ever see of her is her face and hands so we pay a lot of attention to both of these.

Here is the obligatory picture of "Babies taste like chicken". This is just for Chris.


When I got back to the apartment to switch places with Jeannie so she could go to the hospital my job was to wash all of Kaleigh's new clothes. As you can see I had a great helper, I would put the clothes in the basket and he would throw them out. Finally got him to understand that the clothes were to stay in the basket. Then he came across a pair of socks and he really wanted to wear them, so I put them on his feet. It was so cute (can't believe I didn't get a picture) they only came up to his arches so his toes were covered and his heals hung out. He walked around that way for a while. It was pretty funny because usually the first thing he does is pull his socks off but this was different.


I really enjoyed going through all the little girl clothes they are so cute and tiny, can't wait to see her in them.

Another good day and we are just waiting for the Doctor's decision in the morning to see what tomorrow will bring.
