My mom chastised me for not updating the blog. Here is an update.
Addie has progressed pretty steadily, and there still haven't been any major problems. Her bilirubin count was slowly climbing which is an indication of jaundice, but I guess it's pretty common for premies. The solution was to put her under a McDonalds french fry lamp overnight and that seemed to fix it. It also gave her skin a nice golden-brown color.
She also has progressed to clothing as you can see from the picture. A nice purple jumper is her first outfit. Even as a premie outfit, it still looks pretty big. We also put a hat on her. If we bought her some floppy shoes, she could run off with the circus. Sometime I would like to post a picture of the piles of clothing she has got. She is real girl, for sure.Katie is also doing much better. She had a rough week, but by Saturday she was feeling pretty good. Her blood pressure is still sky-high, but she has some medication that seems to help. She's getting to the point where it doesn't even look like she was ever pregnant. Still skinny.
As for me, I have a bike race in St. George I would like to go to this weekend. I haven't had a lot of time for riding. The weather in Salt Lake has been colder and wetter this year than I can ever remember since I've been in Utah. All of the riding I have done has been sub-two hours, so if I did go to the race, I couldn't expect much. It would be nice to get down there for some warm weather riding though.

Oh my goodness Katie she dose look like a clown! A very cute one though. What an adorable hat. She is pretty lucky to have an aunt who buys her such cute things! She is even wide awake. Was Reed poking her?
Good job Reed. Always do as your mother says and you will go far in life.
I loved the Fry lamp comment. Whem Petra and Talia were jaundiced, they had these "bili blankets" which were these blue light pads, about the size of a hot water bottle. I used to stick petra's up her nightie, and it would make it look like she was glowing. She looked like a glow worm ;) Did Addie get some cool sunglasses, too?
Addie definitely got the cool sunglasses, but we didn't get any pictures on them. I only saw them on her once, but she was very styling in them.
lol
