1 month

REALLY?!?!

I can hardly believe that Sadie is 1 month old. 

She has had 2 blood transfusions so far & I'm hoping that's it, but I think she'll need 1 more before it's all said & done.  God only knows though!  I'm putting my trust in Him & know that she's in the BEST hands that she can be in - His hands.

She weighs 6 lbs 14 oz, and almost 20 inches long now.  She is eating, sleeping, and pooping very well.  She is going most nights now about 4 hours in between feedings & that has been going on for about 4 nights now, so I hope that's the new night stuff. 

She is currently breastfeeding only & doing great with that so far.  YAY!  It's definitely very cost efficient (FREE!!!) for now.  She does NOT like paci's & will just spit it out or gag on it if offered to her.  She did suck on a paci better in the beginning, but now she wants NO part of it.

She enjoys swinging & so does Zachary.  Yes, he is crawling up in the swing & latching himself in.........quite funny for sure!!!  We keep encouraging him to swing his babies instead of climbing in himself, but that only works most of the time. 

She doesn't know that she's wearing bows, but I think it's hilarious b/c Zachary will actually put the bows on it.  It totally cracks me up!!

1st bath - she was about 2 wks old - Zachary was being a sweet big brother & helping MiMi give her a bath. 

She's about 3 wks old here

I can't remember if I have any OR pictures on here, so here are Les & I after she was delivered.  I think that I was all done with surgery at this point & just getting cleaned up.  Les & Sadie were getting ready to leave to go to the nursery.  She was in the nursery for all the fun pictures & then off to the NICU after that.  They had a NICU RN in the OR to examine her once she was delivered.  Once the neonatologist came in to see me in the recovery, my question was," What is her hemoglobin?!"  When he told me it was a 7.6; then I knew right then that she had the trait & I cried.  Not that I was dreading the course it put us on, but I knew what the path held for Miss Sadie. 

Here is daddy & daughter - 1st picture together!!!
