What a new year it is for our family! Saige is walking all the time and pushing her toys around! She has been taking a few steps for months, but NOW, she is a walker! She is so proud of her new accomplishments too! Funny to think we know how to be proud at such a young age!
Well, I am feeling better, doesn't hurt to cough or laugh...can pick up SAIGE!!! I officially have one more week of no driving and no picking up...yet, the doctor is so impressed with my recovery. He knew I wouldn't be able to stop from lifting that sweet Saige so, he just told me it would hurt but my guts wouldn't fall out...so not to worry. Had a check up yesterday and all is well...minus a long scar on my abdomen...UGH! Not like I am wearing bikinis anyway these days!
Monday was the first time I was able to attempt to breast feed Linden...she slept instead. Monday night and Tuesday early morning she drank all of her milk at each feeding so yesterday they took our her feeding tube. Oh, that sweet face without any tape or tubes. So, yesterday at 2pm feeding she breastfed like a champ and I went back again at night and she did so well! She successfully did all of her feedings in the night! So, Todd went this morning and they said she might be able to go home TODAY! I have Saige and all of our helpers are not in town and Norma is on vacation for the holiday...wouldn't you know it. We have no one here to help until Friday..which will be just fine. It will give us a few days to settle in as a family...minus big brother who is currently having a ball in Michigan with Fafa and Saba! He will be home Sunday!
So, Todd took the car seat up to the hospital for the "car seat challenge." It is when they put a baby in their seat and monitor them for an hour. Sometimes, premature babies get squished in the seat and slump over and have a hard time breathing. So, Linden must pass this test before we can take her home. It was a riot getting out Saige's barely used infant seat and setting it from the largest size to the smallest belt size. Saige outgrew that seat in minutes....she needed a lazyboy carseat...the oversized kind...we now have two.
So, barring any complications...Linden will be here tonight! Wahoo! Saige and I will meet Todd up at the hospital in just a few short hours. Can't believe the road we have traveled, yet, it is our road, our memories and how sweet they are.
Continue to pray for healing for our family, peace and rest. We are overdone!
Much love to you and yours,
Kristen
