The Featherweight Champ ....
is bulking up! She gained EIGHT OUNCES this week. That's the most in her entire life, gained in one week. Hurrah for Abby! Here she is... more comfy in her new "seat."
Beautiful girl! She'll be zooming through the size charts before you know it :o) Speaking of which....I'm sure you have tons of clothes ready and waiting for her, but if you need any "winter" duds in the 3 to 6 month range I just sorted out a whole bunch of Emily's things. acostakk@ah.org if you're interested!
On the 5th day of her life, Abigail was diagnosed with a large VSD -- a hole in her heart. Since then we've been doing everything including feeding her the fat scraped from the top of breastmilk to fatten her up. We hope she will be eating a cheeseburger shortly after surgery which is scheduled for when she is 4 1/2 months old.
No doubt you are visiting this site because you are praying for us and our upcoming surgery. We cannot thank you all enough for your kind words, powerful prayers and heartfelt love. We feel it all! Our hope is that this experience plays a powerful role in Abby's life as she comes to understand that all things come to her through God's loving hand. Thank you for walking through this with us.
What a girl!!!! I knew she could do it... You haven't seen anything yet!!! Praise the Lord!
