"Stop mom! Stop"
Mckenna Ruth Burns is getting so big and beautiful! She is now 4 pounds 6 ounces and is almost 16 inches long! Mckenna is a really sweet girl and is getting healthier everyday. Mckenna is a little less fussy than her brother. Although when she cries it is more sporadic and we can't really figure out why she is crying. Lol, maybe its a girl thing! She also has this funny thing she does anytime she is stressed out or doesn't like what you are doing. She will take her hand and stick it striaght out and give you kind of like a stop sign. Its like she is staying "stop mom!" just "stop!". Poor girl, she has been through so much, I think its kind of a defense mechanism.
Mckenna doesn't like to be held as much as brother, she is really sensitive to a lot of movement and sound. Her favorite way to be held is just to lay on her stomach on your chest. They also started her with breastfeeding and trying a bottle this week. She actually does pretty good with both! She gets the swallow suck thing more than her brother. I think she likes breastfeeding more though.
Mckenna also is getting big. She is fitting into premie clothes, and I'm having a lot of fun dressing her up! I don't think Mckenna appreciates it as much as I do though. One of our nurses made her some flower headbands that look so cute on her! She will sometimes try to grab it and it will be right over her eyes like a blind fold. Poor girl, she is learning early beauty is pain! jk.
We are so proud of our girl, she is making big strides. She is now on 30 percent oxygen, and we hope that we can wean her off before she goes home.
She is beautiful. I love the outfit. How precious.
