10 Weeks

Happy 10 week birthday to you, happy 10 week birthday to you, happy 10 week birthday dear McKenna, happy 1o week birthday to you. I think I write almost every week something about how time flies. I think that it' s finally starting to slow down maybe because being up here in the NICU is finally starting to get to us. We know that the end is near and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. We obviously don't know exactly when that day will come that we get the word that it is OK to take miss muffin home. But when that day comes, you might see this fella doing kart wheels down 1st Ave. I can't wait for the day that we do not have to come to the hospital to see her. The day that we can stay at home and watch her grow and grow. The day that she gets to lay on my chest as we both rest our tired eyes with the TV on. Needless to say, we're ready to bring her home. The Felton family threw a baby shower today for Suzanne and McKenna. We may have to trade in the car for a moving truck if these things keep happening. Thank you everyone who attended and thank you also for all the really nice stuff that Suzanne brought home. It was very exciting for Suzanne to have her first baby shower after having 2 children.

McKenna has had her feedings increased to 33.75CC every 3 hrs. She will be getting weighed her in just a little bit so I'll have that for you tomorrow. They are still playing around with her oxygen. She'll go for an hour or so with nothing and then awhile with a very low setting. It mostly depends on McKenna's mood that day and also the nurse. Her doctor will probably give her another week in the isolette and then she'll be into the open crib. She does pretty well some days with breast feeding, again it depends on her mood. She's 10 weeks old, 35 weeks gestation and already has a "mood"!! What the heck am I going to do when she gets older?

Thankfully we got to go see Grandpa and Grandma Ohrt last night. Grandpa is on the road of recovery and after everything he's been through, I think he's doing pretty good. Just like our little girl, he's going to need some time to heal up and get better. We wish him luck and send our prayers. Also today, my father came down to help again with the bathroom. We now have a functional bathroom again. Due to the rain, we were not able to put the window in, but there were some major improvements/changes made. Love to all, have a great week.
