When we walked in last night around 8:00 PM, we noticed that Taylor Grace was bundled up in blankets as opposed to her usual attire of nothing but a diaper. We discovered that they had turned off the warmer to simulate an open crib, which is great news. Of course, she cannot move to an open crib quite yet due to the "PICC Line" in her head, which is an IV that allows for blood samples and medicine delivery through the same permanent line (so they don't have to stick her so frequently). I'm sure some of you have wondered about the apparatus on her head in the pictures.
After removing the blankets, we were thrilled to see that they had put some PJs on her, and she looked so precious. We still have not heard Taylor Grace cry, but according to the nurses, she really has to be irritated before she will let loose. She cried from hunger once on Saturday, and she cried when getting her bath on Sunday. She has finally surpassed her birth weight. Taylor Grace has 6 pounds, 2.2 ounces at birth. She lost weight in the initial few days, but finally got back to that exact weight on Saturday. On Sunday, she was up to 6 pounds, 5.8 ounces.
Again, we thank you all so much for your prayers and support!
Love,
Rusty & Krissy
She looks so snuggly in her outfit! So glad she gained the weight back and surpassed it!
