Day 73: A day with daddy

Today Adalyn and I spent the whole day together because Abi had to work and today was her day to go up and visit Emma. Adalyn did great last night and all day today. She is one noisy baby! She doesn't cry a lot but just makes noise all the time, little grunts and squeaks.(Emma does the same thing so when she comes home it will be even worse.) Abi and I would just start laughing in the middle of the night because of some of the strange sounds she makes. Even though I really missed Emma today it was really nice to sit home all day and hang out with Adalyn. We watched some TV, folded some laundry, and even took a 2 hour nap in the chair together. She did have a few alarms today but they were all quick and self resolved meaning we didn't need to stimulate her. Abi talked to the doctor and nurse while she was at the hospital and they think it is probably from the drive yesterday and the change in scenery so hopefully she doesn't have as many/any tomorrow. Please continue to pray for her to stay healthy and that her reflux will get better.(She did spit up her usual 1ml every feeding today with no other major episodes.)

Emma kind of had a "rough night" last night. She had 1 episode were she alarmed and needed suction and the nurse used the wall suction instead of the handheld ball suction that we have at home so we are hoping that will not set her back at all. She also spit up a lot because her nurse didn't realize she needed to be held upright for about 20 minutes after her feedings to help with her reflux. She had a much better day today with her usual spit ups but that was about it. Emma and mommy really enjoyed their time together but Emma wants to get home soon to be with her sister. Tonight she weighed 4lbs 5oz(1970). She had lost 50 grams yesterday so we are happy with her 20 gram increase tonight. Please pray that GOD heals her reflux, helps both girls gain weight, stay free from infection, and that Emma will be provided the strength to come home.
