Lazy Saturday

Not much to report today. Ingrid practiced sucking down 5mL of mama's milk a few times. Mommy held Ingrid for most of the day while Daddy watched World Cup.

The long slow process of working up to full feedings is very difficult for us as parents. We want Ingrid to be ready to go for it but we don't want to stress her out and backtrack so we defer to the doctors' regimen.

Ingrid's omphalocele continues to improve - Kate says it is drier and firmer today. (Daddy wasn't there for the dressing change today.) We continue to remark about how much smaller it looks.

Thanks to everyone for the continued support - the phone calls, the cards, the prayers and good thoughts. This would be so much harder without you!
