June update






Everyone this is crystal. still in the hospital but actually had a chance to sit down and update the blog! Having a nicu baby keeps you busy. well June is actually doing very well for being 5 weeks early. Avery was born at 33 weeks and I can't believe how much of a difference 2 weeks makes. She wont being coming home with me tomorrow; but is doing fine. She just has to be able to do certain things before she can come home. Today they took off the oxygen tube (the tube thingy that goes in your nose like in the movies.) Its a trial run but it has been off since five and she has being doing good. She is feeding well and they keep increasing her tube feedings by 2 cc's every feeding. I am also feeding her every six hours and she is doing amazing. June is still in a heated bed but it hardl;y has to adjust the temp at all. She will soon be moved to an open air crib and hopefully can keep her temp. As of now I think she will be able to come home soon even though they say preemies stay until their due date. We are also doing some foot stretches for her feet. they are turned inwards because she was cramped so much in my tummy. So every feeding she gets a foot massage. Lucky! Well hopefully that all makes sense since I am doped up on drugs at the moment. More to come!






ps thanks thompson fam for letting us borrow the labtop!!! Also for all the visits, phone calls, and comments. We appreciate all the love we have felt throughout this pregnancy! Oh and thank you thank you for all the help with Avery!
