On the road to being healthy....

We were able to bring Maddie home Sunday before lunch time! She slept pretty well through the night Saturday and they took her off the oxygen at Midnight, but I was still up at 1:00 am. I just can't seem to sleep in the hospital for some reason. Plus the nurses were coming in constantly checking her vitals and giving her breathing treatments. Travis slept at home - he's just too big to be able to be comfortable there. Plus with his Bronchitis - he needed to be able to get some good rest. The nurses we had were all great. One in particular hooked us up with some free formula and infant water and she even had a couple of $5 off coupons for the formula I've been supplementing with. She also took Maddie's IV out Sunday morning and I immediately scooped her up and held her which was so nice because it was impossible to hold her closely with everything sticking out of her. Travis held her very little while she was in the hospital b/c of the fact that he was also sick, but I think he held her almost all of Sunday afternoon to make up for it!

As this week has gone on, I can tell that she's slowly getting better. She's not wheezy anymore when she breathes and her chest rattles very little now. She was coughing more than usual yesterday, but now today it's been very little. She is definitely staying awake a lot longer during the day which is fun! Last night she fell asleep for the night around 10:00 and didn't wake up until about 5:00 so that was good! She also smiles a lot when we talk to her and it's so stinkin' cute. I keep trying to get a picture of her smiling, but it's just not working out for me. Her hands also seem to be going into her mouth quite often when she's awake so I'm wondering if we're gonna have a thumb sucker on our hands? Daddy will not like that!! She has her 2-month check in a couple of weeks. It was suppose to be this coming Monday, but they won't give her any shots while she's sick so it was rescheduled to early March. I'm curious to see how much more she weighs (she's 12 lbs. 3 oz. now) and just how long she is. The outfit I put on her yesterday was too short and I'm having the same problem with her outfit today and they're both 3-month outfits!! So I may have to pull out the 3-6 month clothes that I put away.

We don't have much coming up this weekend besides a volleyball game. Travis & I might have our V-day dinner that we weren't able to make, but that's about it!

Enjoy the pics!!

A few bathtime pics:

This one cracks me up - her big ol' belly, fists and tough girl face:

So sweet......

All the daycare kids I had today (a couple of them were smiling goofy for me):
