Happy New Year!! Just don't tell Harper it's a holiday. She has a tendency to come down with infections on them, so we won't be telling her about today. Matt and I made sure we were at the hospital last night to kiss her at midnight, but we just told her that mommy and daddy couldn't sleep so we decided to come visit her.
Well, she may not be completely better yet, but she is certainly feeling better. She took 2 full bottles yesterday and really went to work during a breastfeeding session. Maybe going without feedings for a full day has made her realize that she needs to jump at the chance to get her food, no matter how she has to get it! :)
The other loveliness of yesterday was that we asked if other people could touch her, so mom, dad, Morgan, Pam, Veronica and Tammy got to touch her soft little skin. We still don't want to overdo it for her, and everyone was very respectful of that.
Hopefully, she will come off he antibiotics today, so no more IV. I imagine they will be doing some labs either today or tomorrow to check on her, to see if she is better. We get to hold her a lot more now, since she is in her bed. When she was in the isolette, they were worried about her keeping her temperature up while we were holding her, but now that she is in a crib they clearly aren't worried about that anymore. I love every second of it, she's such a cutie!
And what a wonderful gift that touch was!
