Here's your weekly update...

Hey everyone, I don't know if any of you still check for posts anymore, but if you do here is a quick update.  Madison is gaining weight like she should, she now weighs 7lbs 1oz, so she has gained 1 whole pound since birth.  The dietitian that I met with on Thursday said that Madison is getting 150% of the amount of milk that she is supposed to be, she is making up for lost time.  We also saw Dr. Eccles on Thursday, who is Madison's surgeon, and she said that Madison's omphalocele is looking great, and so now we are beginning to apply gentle pressure.  Dr. Eccles was so pleased with Madison that she said that we don't have see her for two weeks, which it was supposed to be every week.  At home Madison is doing very well, she sleep good during the night she gets up about every 3-4 hours to eat, but then she goes back to sleep fairly well.  If you couldn't see her little pot belly you wouldn't know anything is wrong with her, she is just a normal baby.  Anyways, I will keep you updated with any new news.

P.S.  Nicole I would love to meet with you and talk to you about our little "o" babies if you want.  I wish I had someone to talk to before we had Madison.  I am pretty sure Tyler gave you our number, if not let me know and I will give it to you again.  Please feel free to call.
