Tonight I am posting from Palmetto Baptist - our home away from home. Travis and I decided to spend the night and wake up with our baby girl on her very first Thanksgiving. Kaky, Gator and Mama Jean are back at our house spending the night. Tomorrow morning we will head back to our house for breakfast and then an early Thanksgiving dinner with more family. We are super excited to spend the day with family!
Morgan Kate had a pretty quiet day and slept a lot. Travis and I spent the afternoon with her and she slept the entire time. They are only attempting one bottle feed a day right now. We attempted a bottle tonight at 12 because she was semi-awake. However, she was not interested at all and basically wouldn't take it. Her oxygen has been at 40ccs for most of the day - which is great. Tonight she weighed in at six pounds and six ounces. Almost six and a half pounds! Wow!
Travis and I met with a pediatrician earlier today. She was fabulous! We have several meetings set up with various doctors, but are most certain we will go with the doctor we met today. She was very kind and patient and really wants to get to know her patients. She answered all of our questions and gave us great information. Needless to say, we were very pleased.
I can't believe that Thanksgiving is already here. Sometimes I feel like it's still August. I seem to be trapped in that month, almost like my life is stuck there. When I am writing the date on checks I still start with 08. I also can't believe that our 26 weeker, 1 pounder and 12 ounces is now three months old and almost six and a half pounds. We have so much to be thankful for this year. We have been incredibly blessed!
We are thankful for:
-A loving and generous God
-A beautiful baby girl who has stolen our hearts. She is the light of our life and we are so fortunate to have her. God has been so good!
-Incredible family and friends who have supported and encouraged us every minute of this journey.
-Terrific nurses, doctors and respiratory therapists who have loved our little girl and taken the absolute best care of her.
-We are also thankful for prayer and for all of those people out there who have prayed for Morgan Kate. Your prayers have done wonders! Thank you all!
