Good morning everyone! Sorry I didn't get to write a post last night, I was too tired and went to sleep right away. I'll be catching up today though and writing two posts. This one will be yesterdays (September 24th) and this evening will be an update on todays progress.
Yesterday Olivia had some more progress with her weight:) She is still over 600 grams weighing 625 grams yesterday morning. They weighed her again last night before I came back in the evening with Jeff and they said she had gained 60 grams but that didn't seem possible so they were going to weigh her again later that evening. We left before they did that.
Not much else has changed on her status. She is still on full feeds and seems to be tolerating it well.
Olivia also had quite a few visitors yesterday! A couple of my mom and I's friends came over to see her for the first time. (Jane, Beat, and Barb). They were all surprised, like all other visitors, as to how small is is. She is such a cutie! They all loved her and showered her with stuffed toys! One cute bear (from Barb) was 10 the size of her! It's super cute! She also got a nursery rhyme book from Barb too! I'll be starting to read to her today. I have a whole stash a books which my mom kept for me when I was a child so she has a ton of books for me to read to her while she is in the hospital. I wonder which book will be her favourite when she gets older? Guess we'll all find out!
What were some of your favourite childhood books that you remember reading or being read to as a child?
Olivia is also reviving some nice snail mail! Yes, we received a lovely card from Melanie yesterday (one of my mom's friends). Thanks Melanie! That was very thoughtful of you! I'll be putting it in her pink memory box I got her the other day:)
Here is are Olivia's visitors of the day!

Oh! Another thank you I'd like to mention is from Jeff and I's friends, Brian and Hilary! They were thoughtful enough to give Olivia the cutest little stuffed Lamb on the planet! Lucy Lamb! I took it in yesterday afternoon and got a cute photo of her with Lucy Lamb! Thanks so much Brian and Hilary! It's sitting in her incubator with her pink horse! She'll have a farm in there soon:)
We got another surprise in the mail yesterday! Her birth certificates arrived!:) She is officially registered. So exciting!
Jeff and I came in last night once more time to have some quiet time alone with her. We don't get a lot of time since Jeff is working so it was nice to just sit with her for a bit. She did a lot of sleeping and opened her eyes a bit to say hi to us. She also had a bit of a crying fit which we managed to sooth her to sleep. So far she's a good baby:) She has the cutest cry ever at the moment.
Anyways, that's about all that's new for yesterday. I will be back later tonight for today's update! We will see if she actually did gain 60 grams or not! haha!
