Another good day

Today is another good day. It's a tie today for who gets the gold star. Natalie has moved on up - or down - depending on how you look at it. She has joined Abigail in the TCN. She's doing very, very well. Abby receives a star for doing so well with Occupational Therapy (OT). They tried her on a bottle to see how she did. I'm told she did very well. I wasn't there since no one told me they were going to try it. I was a little annoyed, well, actually, quite a bit annoyed, because I wanted to see her take her first bottle. Oh, well. I guess since most parents can't be there at the drop of a hat they don't think about letting them know. In general the nurses are really good at keepsake type things. They made a special point to give us their first little hospital bracelets. They also gave us Abby's little tiny blood pressure cuff for her baby book. She's outgrown it and moved to #2 now! So, I guess I can't be that mad. I will make a point of leaving a note with OT about calling for Natalie's first try. we also have a note for the nurses to hold on Natalie's first real bath because we want to do it.

Speaking of baths...Abigail is once again squeaky clean. Daddy gave her a bath tonight with Poppy and Mommy looking on. This time instead of a real baby tub, we just used a squarish, pink basin. It is now her very own. She did really great this time and barely cried at all. It totally poops her out though. She is so tired and sluggish after and falls sound asleep. Daddy said he just loved being able to hold her so much and look her in the face. Maybe he'll say a few words about it (hint, hint, Daddy).
