Two pounds!

As of last night, Abby officially has shattered the two-pound barrier! She has been growing rapidly and looking really good the last few days.

She still is on CPAP, although the breathing tubes become dislodged sometimes. It seems that she's rather stick of having so many tubes attached to her face. So much so that sometimes she seems to try to pull some of them off!

Katrina and I have been able to hold her for an hour each every day this week, and Abigail's getting more and more content in our arms every day. She's also tolerating her feeding better each day; she's up to seven mL every three hours. We're not sure how there's room for seven mL at a time in that little body, but she seems to like it.

It was great having a day off in the middle of the week to spend more time than usual with Abby at the hospital. We had planned on going to a July 4 party/devo with a bunch of people from church, but we opted to stay home and spend time with Ann before she leaves today. (Also, we had stayed up until 3:30 a.m. the night before playing Scrabble with Jake and Ann, so we weren't exactly well-rested!)

Fabulous news. One of our youth minister interns sister is going to Wuhan this fall. Her website is lucypyeatt.blogspot.com if you want to drop her a line. We told we had some friends from college that just got back. Maybe you could give her some pointers. Keep us updated on Abby's progress. We are all still praying for you guys.
