merry christmas! Daryl had a good holiday; she got a wipe warmer and some toys so she is a happy girl. she has been doing good lately. At her last dr. appt., she finally gained some real weight (she now weighs 11 lbs 3 oz!) she is still small for a 5 month old, obviously, but she is actually doing okay other than the lack of weight gain. she is making normal baby progress every day, and is happy as ever. She still has her G-tube in her stomach, even though she doesnt use it, because the doctors still wants her to gain more weight before they take it out. i had the fun job of getting to change out her tube yesterday, for the first time. I was nervous because its a pretty major thing... i mean you have to pull the whole tube out of her stomach and put a new one in. it was weird, but it went well and i was proud of myself. a little shaky afterwards (one wrong move and it could really hurt her or mess things up) but otherwise ok! i cant wait to get that thing out of her. other than that, there is nothing much going on, so we have been able to enjoy the holidays.
