Friday update

Not much has changed with Madeleine-- she was resting calmly this morning when I visited with her and she's taken a liking (make that an infatuation) with her pacifier. (pics will be posted later) Whenever the pacifier fell out (frequently), she voiced her disapproval. Suffice it to say: the nurses are spoiling my daughter right now.

Other than that, we're just hoping for a very boring weekend. Madeleine continues to feed on the pedia-lite and the doctors may consider introducing breastmilk some time over the weekend. Other than that, we're not expecting any other changes as the goal is to keep Madeleine calm and healthy in advance of the heart surgery. We'll find out on Monday evening when the surgery will occur-- as early as next Thursday/Friday or early the following week.

Kirsten and I are going to take a short break from the hospital-- we're headed to Ocean City tomorrow morning for a day at the beach and a night at a hotel. Carol and Steve (Kirsten's parents) are taking over hospital duties for the weekend and also have the joy of taking care of our two monsters, Grady and Savannah. :) We'll be back in full parent mode on Sunday night for bath time and I'll post pictures and ideally a movie on Monday morning. (To help out with your "case of the Mondays.")

That's all. Have a safe and enjoyable weekend.
