Josie finally reached 14 pounds today! She had lost a few ounces after the surgery and took us awhile to get back to gaining weight. She continues to feel better and better each day. We are still struggling a bit to get more than 20 ounces in her a day, but we think her tummy is still stretching out from the surgery. She is having some trouble getting rid of gas in her tummy since she can't burp now. We are able to vent the excess air out through her g-tube and do pretty much after each feeding. That is about the only time she gets fussy now.
Josie is also sleeping much better. Before surgery we had gotten to the point that one of us was basically up every two hours with Josie. Either to rock her for a few minutes or provide some kind of comfort. Now she is only getting up once to feed! I think the sleep is definitely helping her and we are also enjoying it:) Josie used to sleep a lot during the day, too, I think just to make up for lost sleep and due to the fact that she didn't feel well most of the time. Now we are at two naps a day and she is able to stay up for longer periods of time. Most of the time she is still napping on someone, but this is the going to become the main goal once we move.
On the moving note, we closed on the new house on Friday! It is a little strange to go to my parent's old house now that it is empty and waiting for us to move it. Grammy and Papa Stewart, along with Uncle Corey and Lane, came to Pittsburg Saturday to help us move a few things. Josie took a marathon nap on Grammy which I think they both enjoyed, while the guys moved and I packed. Sunday we went to lunch at Grampa and Gramma Scott's new house. It was nice to see them settled already and as you can see from the pictures Josie enjoyed Gramma's singing (she is into "Hickory, Dickory, Dock":)
