SYDNEY EVEN THOUGHT TODAY WAS A PRETTY GOOD DAY! LOL

THIS WAS THE VERY FIRST TIME SYDNEY GOT TO HOLD BAYLEY.

SISTERS!!!

SYDNEY GOT SOME BAYLEY LOVE!!!

SYDNEY CHANGING DIAPER FOR THE 1ST TIME!!! IT WAS A NASTY DIRTY ONE TOO!!!

SYDNEY GIVING BAYLEY A BOTTLE FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!

Well as you can see today was a pretty good day. We started it early with Sydneys 8:30 am dentist appt. WOW That is early for us late birds. After the dentist we returned some unneeded maternity clotes. lol Then after lunch we headed to the hospital to see our baby. It is official...BAYLEY IS A FATTY!!! She gained to 3 lb 11 oz. Everyone is so shocked that she has packed the weight on so fast. The nurses all say that she isnt acting like a 29 week baby. It was about 4 before we heard the magic words...CRIB & GOING HOME!!! Yup...you read that right. Our lil fatty got put in a crib late this afternoon and that starts the countdown to home. Our first "Possible" Going home date is SUNDAY!!! She has been getting 30 ml per feeding and they moved her up to 40 ml today... that is a huge jump. Bayley has to drink 40 ml every 4 hours in a 30 minute time frame with no apnea. She also has to mantain her temperature in her crib. There is something else she has to do but I cant remember what in the world it is but I will find out tomorrow. lol She has to do those things for 3 days in a row. If she fails any of it the countdown starts over. Our countdown started at 5pm.. SHE FAILED HER FIRST BOTTLE lol so this may not be quite so simple. lol One of the nurses said that it is usually somewhere in a 7 day time frame around the original target date so I guess you could say we should go home sometime next week as long as we have no major setbacks. Our other big news as you could see was that since Bayley got to get in a crib today that means that Sydney finally gets to hold her!!!! She was so happy. You can see from the pictures that she totally loved her time with Bayley. It was so sweet to watch them get to know each other. Sydney did great with Bayley & she is going to be so much help with her. Bayley is very lucky to have Sydney as her big sister. Keep your fingers crossed and the prayers going up that Bayley will remain healthy & that we can bring her home and she will continue to grow & have a wonderful life!!!

PS... just in case you wondered... we have gotten NOTHING done in the house lol. We are sooo not prepared...but thank goodness 4 lb babies dont know much about organization or decorating lol Needless to say it is 1 am and we just finished cleaning out a closet. lol Operation Prepare for Bayley is Underway!!!!
