7/26/2013 – “Hangry”

I finally began putting things together for Olivia’s room.  Today, her 9 cube closet organizer was finished.  I started it last week, but it had pieces made incorrectly so I had to exchange it.  I was also able to go and purchase the smaller computer desk that will go in her room.  The one we have now takes up too much space.  We will be putting that together tomorrow.  Next week I plan on painting the room and adding the decals.  Then we can add the crib, the glider and futon.  I can’t wait to see the final product.  We went to visit Olivia in the afternoon, we were a little late but we let them know so they waited for us.  When we got there, she was feisty as ever, just slapping people and not wanting to be touched.  Now that she is eating every 3 hours and not continuously we cannot be late.  And if we are, we need to let them know to go ahead and feed her.  She seems to have her mother’s hungry attitude.  As soon as she ate, she calmed down.  She is still on the feeding tube, not sure when they will begin giving her the bottle.  When they do that, they will begin with once a day to see how she tolerates it.  Daddy got to hold her for a pretty long time as well.  She looked very comfy, fell right to sleep and didn’t fuss.  Everything is looking good, her oxygen was good throughout the day.  The cpap is still on +6 and she is doing well with it.  We called in the evening before going to bed and found out she gained a bit of weight, 20 grams.  She is just shy of 3 pounds, so hopefully by tomorrow she will be there.  After visiting Olivia we went to church, the series is called Church gone wild, and Pastor David did such a fantastic job delivering the message (as usual).
