Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Today was an AWESOME day!!  Not only is it Valentine's day and a reason to put Maci in a themed outfit but we had our 3rd Dr appt of the week (UGH) to continue our weigh in saga.  I haven't posted about this but Maci hasn't gained any weight since our trip to the hospital with RSV last week.  She hasn't been the best nurser and with the RSV they knew she wouldn't gain weight quickly because her immune system was down as well as her energy levels.  However, now that we are a week post admittance to the hospital, she should be gaining weight again.  Yesterday, we decided to try only bottles with a combo of me pumping what I can to feed her and some formula supplement.  This way we can see exactly how much she is taking and ensure she is getting at least 2 oz every 3 hours.  Maci did great yesterday with her feedings through the bottle and mommy was very excited going into the appointment today because she swore there was a weight gain.  Sure enough, Maci was up 2oz from yesterday's weigh in and that is HUGE progress.  Now we are sticking with this plan through the weekend and coming back in on Monday just to ensure the weight gain continues but we are hoping this was our turn towards healthy times from here on out!!!  No more sickies in our house with the RSV/Colds gone and now good weight gain on the Maci front :-)

Mommy was so happy with Maci's weight gain, she didn't even mind that Maci spit up on both of her Valentine's day themed outfits.  Mommy was able to get some pictures of Maci and mommy/daddy with at least one of the outfits! 
Happy Valentine's Day from the Mondell's and much love to you all!!
