SYDNEY IS 6 WEEKS OLD!

Another thing that Sydney might be off of tomorrow by the time that Jayson and I go to visit is, her canula! This is the clear breathing device in her nose that helps her to breathe. They began to wean her off of it this afternoon! They bumped her down to 1liter and then tonight at midnight they bumped her down to 1/2 liter. So, please pray that she does well these last few hours so that she does not need it any more by noon tomorrow. I was just telling Jayson last night that I noticed that she really is hating having it on. She is constantly pulling at it and pulling it off! This will be such a relief for her when she is without it!

And here she is tonight! Grandm Nancy met me up at the hospital and went in for a visit! Sydney is 6 weeks old today! She is now 3lbs 14oz! She is now NOT on caffiene any more (sorry Auntie Sarah). This is showing that she doesn't need that extra boost to help stimulate her brain to remember to breathe and all that the caffiene helps with. Therefore, she is doing better!
Here she is with Daddy! I like to try to get pictures with Jayson in them too, or some sort of something to compare her size to. So if you know Jayson, then you may be able to compare her size to him!


Daddy and I came back for a visit last night and did her care. Then she was all tuckered out just after her feed! Oh and I wonder if anyone noticed the new hat! :) We also weighed her and she was still at 3lbs 13oz. She had gained 10 grams, but it wasn't enough to put her up an ounce. She really did have a good day yesterday~! Oh and one other thing, it was either this day or the day before that they increase her caffiene a little because she was gaining weight and they needed it to be adjusted due to that weight gain.




Possibly one of the cutest pictures ever! It's a little blurry, but it was so cute that I just had to post it! So this was from earlier yesterday when I went to visit. Miss Sydney was so alert and awake! It sure was a lot of fun to hold her! She did really well sucking on her binkie! So at least one of the 3 things is progressing. Now it's just a matter of putting it all together (sucking, swallowing and breathing) at the same time, all the time! She will get there!
