Busy Bumble Bees......Buzz

My oh my has it been a busy few days.  Our family came to stay at Hotel Lam for the past four days.  It was packed with activities from Jeanette's graduation, graduation dinner, Sea World, the San Diego County Fair to Baby Kalista visits. We had a blast seeing our family and spending time with them! 


Rady Children's Hospital NICU has not lifted the visitor ban yet, so our families are still not allowed to visit Kalista bedside. Boo!!! Instead, they were allowed to see her through the windows.  We hope that the next time they see her, she will be out of the NICU.

Kalista has made some large hallmarks in the past few days too.  We have been attempting dry breastfeeding- which means there is no milk on tap for the thirsty.  She gets super frustrated since it's such a tease, but she finally got the hang of latching on yesterday morning when we worked with Ruth, the lactation consultant.  This was the goal of dry breastfeeding.  We know practice makes perfect and not to give up on the journey to get there.  Matt has been a big cheerleader for the ladies in his life.  Go Team Lam!!!


When we came into the NICU last night, we were so happy to discover that Kalista has officially weaned off of her nasal cannula and oxygen support.  That means no more tubes in her nose. Now that we can see her nose better, she is starting to look more like Matt.  It may be that they have the same haircut right now. Notice the resemblance in these two pictures here???
