A baby, a real baby!

We tried again to take Annie out of the isolette and it (again) didn't fly. I'm hoping we can take a break for a while since she seems to really not be ready to hold her own temperature. Aside from this, I am so moved by how she is starting to transition into a healthy little baby. We brought her a new wardrobe today (including a 'Grandma loves me' onesie) and Elly was able to spend several hours with her during her day off. Unfortunately, her nurse shared with us that an "explosive" poo later in the day killed one of the onesies. Not to worry, she's got more!

Aunt Kit gave blood (for the first time) to have on reserve if Annie needs any more blood down the road. Gran came along to hold Kit's hand and the Burke gals all went out for a nice glass of wine and lunch afterwards. We looking foward to continuing the 'ladies who lunch' tradition (bottle of wine required) with our Annie!

It was really great to see Annie and get to hold her yesterday! She really is looking like a real baby, complete with big cheeks and bottle feedings!

Hey, count me in on the Ladies Who Lunch bunch next time I get to NYC! Bet the onesies look so cute! What color does she prefer? I'm so glad she is progressing and looking filled out more.
Happy 4th!
Love, Barb
