Mommy report: Weight gain

We are still here at the hospital, and she is still pretty sick, but there has been some overall improvement. She did gain just a bit of weight since yesterday, so that is good. She still seems pretty uncomfortable and is still having symptoms of the virus, but we think we're headed in the right direction at this point.

She's not taking the bottle anymore...well, at least taking much. I think she'll do ok with it once we're home and she's feeling better. At least we know she can do it, it'll just be teaching her that it must be done regularly. She's getting her feeds by NG, and she is keeping them down for the most part. She's just so thin-looking... it makes her look alot older than she is, I think.

The doctors are talking like they might think of discharge tomorrow, but I've made quite clear that I want to see continuous improvement more than we have. It's been very up and down the whole stay, and I don't want to leave and go home only to have to turn around and come back the next day when the pattern turns south again. They've been good about listening to my concerns and are not rushing us out by any means. M is on his way down tonight, so I'm looking very much forward to the additional moral support.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We feel very blessed to have so many great people pulling for our little precious one.

Happy 6 months to me!

I'm 6 months old today. Wow...it seems like a lifetime!! Mommy helped me put together a neat thing to share with you, but you should know that it's really for my dad. He's the best Pop a girl could have. Just remember, girls, he's mine and Mommy's, and we're keeping him! Hey Pop, thanks for hanging in there with us for six whole months! Go Team Woods! Make a video - it's fun, easy and free! www.onetruemedia.com

Getting ready for Idol!

Here at our house we always watch American Idol from the beginning to the end. I like all the music, and Mommy and Daddy like to make guesses on who will win. I love to sing and listen to songs and Mommy has been singing songs to me since I was a tiny baby, so we do songs every day. We're getting ready for Idol to start soon, so we've been singing extra! Last night, I thought I would do my first movie of singing time. I was in a pretty silly mood and didn't want to be still, but Mommy thought I should let you see anyway. This is the song I know the best, Jesus Loves Me, but it's not my best showing of it, that's for sure. And this is my favorite song from my FAVORITE show... Blue's Clues!!! Usually I can say Blue's Clues really nice and show the hands like Steve does, but I didn't feel like it when Mommy got the camera out. But the Mail song is always fun! (Mommy even got a word wrong but I knew my part!)
