It was a big weekend for Abby. Saturday, Nanny and Poppy were visiting and got to hold Abby for the first time! It was very exciting for them, and I'm sure Abby enjoyed it as well. She did really great - all wrapped up in her little blankets. After a while, she even fell asleep. She had a few desats at first with Poppy, but she had just finished eating and sometimes there is a little reflux. The further away in time she was from her feeds, the better she did. The only down side was that with Abby and Natalie in separate rooms, we can no longer cheat and have 4 people in the room. They only allow 2 visitors per bedside. Before, technically we would send in 2 to each, 4 total, but in reality, we were all over the place breaking the rules:-) So, Poppy and Nanny had to hold her separately. Fortunately, we video taped it for everyone to see.
Sunday, Ben's parents came to visit. Grandpa and Ya-yai both had a chance to hold Abby. As before, she was a dream. Ben also held her all bundled up. He has kangarooed her before, but never held her so he could see her face. The pictures are just darling.
Poor Natalie has been quite neglected. Actually, Abby has just been doing better and has more weight on her. It's quite stressful for them to be moved all around and it can cause them to lose weight by expending extra calories. As Natalie gets bigger, she can be held more too.
It was a great day all around. There are pictures and videos posted on the picture site. Check them out and enjoy!
