Top o’ the mornin’ to ya!

Aunt Katie came to visit today and we had a great time with our little peanut! They brought her food up to 30cc’s, and so far she’s tolerating that well. Like the doctors said yesterday, they tried her on a bottle today. As you’ll see from the pictures, it made her REALLY tired. She was able to eat 2cc’s, then fell fast asleep, exhausted. They’ll continue to try to work on this with her once a day until she gets the hang of it. But I thought for day one, she did great!

Read with a baby voice: “Who’s the smartest baby in the NICU??.... SARAI IS!”

FYI, I got pooped on again! And Katie was right there with her video-recording camera and got it on tape! Sarai, what a stinker!

Katie came down this morning like Santa arriving on his sleigh! She delivered TONS of things for Sarai from cousins, aunts, uncles and friends; clothes, bassinette, car seat and extra base, high chair, entertainer, stroller, gift cards, and more! Thank you to all my Losier family who pitched in for all these gifts! We are so lucky, I can’t even believe it!

While Katie and I passed Sarai back and forth, we decided to write her a limerick…. ENJOY!

There once was a girl named Sarai,
Who was born on the 6th of July.
With a head full of hair,
People stop and they stare,
‘Cause she’s cuter than pumpkin pie!

Her wrists are as big as my thumb.
She’s happy with milk in her tum.
Dark eyes like her dad,
And spiky hair that is rad,
Sleeping to the NICU hum.

Sarai is getting stronger each day.
When you change her get out of the way!
Be careful where you stand,
She might poop on your hand!
But we welcome visitors anyway!
