Finally!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful news!!!!! They gave Anabelle a suppository today and she pooped! So now they have started giving her 5 CC's of Pedialyte to see how things go. I asked two nurses and one said they will give her Pedialyte for maybe 24 hours, maybe less. Another said maybe a day or two. Then she will get to start on breastmilk. We got to feed her for the first time today. :) It was only the Pedialyte, but still. She did so good! She has no problem eating from a bottle, which is awesome because if she did have an issue, then they'd have to put a feeding tube in. But look how good she is doing! 



 Her third feeding, but our first time getting to do it <3

Oh! I forgot to mention. I found a bunch of legwarmers and knee highs at Target today for her :) And I think I have figured out what kind of clothes will work best. Anything that buttons down the front. It will get old fast, so I will still have to get creative and make some things, but it will do for now. It's still hard to find clothes for her while she has her PICC in her hand, because a lot of things don't work with it... but they manage to find her cute things from their supply. I just love UC Davis! Oh, and she got a new roommate today. She use to have a cute little girl, and today she got moved :( Now she has a little boy, who isn't so little. I think he is just a normal sized baby, but after looking at all the tiny babies that are in the NICU, he looks huge! He was just transferred today, so I hope his family is as nice as the last family. 

Until tomorrow! 

With love, 
The Polks

    It's 4am, and first thing i do every morning after starting the coffee is check the Anabelle blog and face book for Anabelle news. There have been some times i have cried reading the blog from fear or sadness...but today my tears are from JOY!!! It seems like forever since kyle called me in Nov. with some of the possible outcomes the doc's had talked about. We have come so far since then...and Ana-bear has come so very far in just the last 16 days. We are HAPPY that she is doing so awesome!! I hate being 800 miles away, I'm sure I would go nuts with=out this blog and facebook to see and hear all the milestones. Your going great honey and we are so proud of you guys.
    So much love...Papa phil and DeeDee too
