We had a lot of visitors today!

Leah is still at 3 lbs, 4oz. She’s now getting 5mL (just over a teaspoon) of breast milk per hour through her g-tube. She had a little bit of trouble remembering to breathe today; she had a bunch of bradycardia episodes throughout the day. The good news is that she is often able to self-correct before anybody has to nudge her awake. But still… I’d feel better if she would remember to breathe.

Leah’s biggest news today is that she met her great-grandpa! Second biggest news is that Mama Lisa finally worked up the nerve to change a diaper. Eeek. Thankfully it was just a wet diaper.

After Mandy and I visited a bit with Leah, we brought Great-Grandpa Mannie in for a visit. She did her usual squirmy song-and-dance routine, but wouldn’t open her eyes, no matter how many times Grandpa Mannie asked her to. Apparently she doesn’t take requests!

After Great-Grandpa left, Grandma Barbie (hahaha) came in to visit, and wouldn’t you know, THAT’S when she opened the little peepers! Grandma B and Leah had a nice little visit, and then it was Auntie Staci’s turn. Later on, Faith and Matt came to visit, and then they drove us back to Ronald McDonald House, where we started about the very exciting task of cooking and doing laundry. Fuuuun. It’s nice to have a little bit of normalcy, though. Laundry is normal. We do laundry. Laundry is something we do. (It’s a clothes process. A process we do to the clothes. Sorry – Buffy thing. I couldn’t resist.)

BabyBug was a giant ham after kangaroo time today. Behold:

And here are some more pics for you!
