Like I said before, no more naked baby. Madi's such a big girl she gets to wear clothes now. Every night she gets a new outfit. We need to shrink the ones we have or sneak her some cheeseburgers, not quite filling out the clothes. You can see pics of her first outfit on the Pictures page.
Speaking of cheeseburgers, the doctor gave us some good analogies today. If we were to eat the same amount of calories per body weight as Madi does we'd have 30 doughnuts every meal. Madi's weight gain per day would be equal to us gaining 4.5lbs. Can you imagine? Wait.......yes, I can. Madi's 3lbs 13oz now, gained 2lbs since birth and inching her way toward 4lbs. Grow baby, grow!
Madi's in the "feed and grow" stage as one of the doctors called it. Feed, grow and breathe. The part of Madi's brain that controls respiratory function is still developing so there are times her breathing slows way down, almost stops. Every week is better than the last though. According to the docs it could be another 2-3 weeks before she's outgrown the A's and B's. Mom and Dad will be relieved when the alarms stop.
If I haven't said it yet Reeda, I want you to know how amazingly strong you are, it must be where Madi gets it! You seem unshakeable through this whole ordeal, at least the parts I see. Sounds like you are all doing so well, and prayers are continuing to be sent your way for Madi's continued progress. :)
