More pics of baby Brenna and update on Chantrell.

I found out that Chantrell has an infection that is like a flu virus. That is why she has loose stool and was acting lethargic. She is in an isolation room in an isolette so she can't get others sick. I went in to see her and I had to wear a sterile gown and gloves before I could hold her. She has to take medicine for a couple of days until she is better. So far they haven't put her feeding tube back in which is a positive step and she is on a lactose-free formula which helps her digest it better. For awhile now she has been spitting up some formula on her clothes and we couldn't figure out why. We thought she might have reflux or some other problem with her stomach. I hope we can take her home in a couple more days. She is drinking enough from a bottle now and is gaining a half an ounce a day and that is good. Chantrell weighs 8 lbs. 14 oz. now. She is a pretty big baby compared to her sister.

Brenna went to the pediatrician today and she is doing great. She weighs 6 lbs. 10 oz. and that is a gain of 3 oz in 7 days. She could stand to gain a little more weight. All her other vitals are good. Everybody who sees her wants to know how old she is and tells us how cute and little she is. It is fun to tell people about her and her twin sister. I can't wait to take both of them out together. People are always amazed at twins.

Thursday I go to the dermatologist to have my hand looked at. I had this really small blood blister on my knuckle of my pinkie. Of course I picked it and wouldn't leave it alone. Well, this is what grew on my hand.

I have had this stupid thing on me for two months now because I was waiting to be approved for Medicaid health insurance. I finally got insurance for me and the girls. Mom thinks it is a hemangioma (a tumor filled blood vessel growth) DISGUSTING!!!! I can't wait to have it gone for good.

Another gross picture of it. It bleeds like crazy if I knock it accidentally. Usually I wear a band-aid to hide it from everyone.

A cute picture of Barry and Brenna sleeping on the couch.

When Debbie was visiting, she got to give Brenna her first bath at home. I video taped it and took some pictures of her. Brenna is so little and cute. She doesn't cry that much during bath time.

Debbie is holding her head so she doesn't fall over. Look at her fat little tummy. So cute.

All clean and wrapped up in her towel. Debbie, you look great in this photo. Thanks again for coming and helping out with the babies. We loved having you all to ourselves for the week!!

Here is Brenna trying out the swing for the first time. We are not sure she likes it that much. It just has an on and off switch and it swings pretty fast. She holds out her hand like she is riding a bull...whoa too fast!!

Not quite a happy face. She looks like she is trying to sleep but is having a hard time relaxing.
