Addison's first bath!

Hi! Just wanted to give you a quick update and I'll try to put more pics up after I visit the girls today. Ryan and I got to give Addison her first bath yesterday! She loved it! Wide awake and no tears! I wonder if she'll love ALLLL of her baths! :) I got Ryan a video camera for his birthday so we filmed Addison's first bath. I love being able to watch them at home now!!! She was out of her isolette for one day but wasn't keeping her temp up so now she's back in the isolette. She also has a bili light blanket wrapped around her to keep her jaundice down as it started to come back once she was out of the isolette. But, she is a rockstar when it comes to breastfeeding so that is great! She is definitely surprising the nurses that she is getting the sucking, breathing, swallowing combination down so early so we'll just keep practicing! Emily and Hailey don't understand swallowing yet but I'm sure that will come. All of the girls are now getting 20 cc's of breastmilk through their feeding tube and then they are now adding formula to the breastmilk to give them an extra 2 calories per ounce. Hopefully they can keep it down
Please continue to keep the girls in your prayers - that they will all begin to master the sucking, swallowing, breathing combo, gain weight, maintain their temps, etc. Also, if you think of it, please pray for all of the other babies in the NICU. Ryan and I hear horrible stories where the nurses have to coax the moms to come and visit their babies....and we've seen 9 month pregnant women smoking...and VERY young moms...and babies who are exactly 1 pound. We have SOOO much to be thankful for. I just wish all of the babies in the NICU could be loved at least HALF as much as our girls are.
