Baby Update

Hello to all. I need to start with an apology for all the phone calls I have not yet returned. We are not trying to ignore anyone - just had a rough first few days. The second day at the hospital we found out that Abby was not getting enough to eat and dropping weight too rapidly. Unfortunately she had become so weak that she had trouble waking up enough to eat and even had trouble sucking the supplements from a bottle. But, praise God, she turned a corner yesterday and has begun to eat well and regain strength. We have only had to give her a formula supplement twice in the last 24 hours. We are hoping by the end of the week to be able to just natural feed and drop the pumping and supplementing and maybe have a little more time to sleep! I'll post some more pictures soon, but I hear her waking up, so need to start the cycle again!
