Both Abby and Grace have been really popular names lately. I think that name combination actually is one my little cousin has... I'll have to double-check, but I'm pretty sure her middle name's Grace.
Something they are doing with preemies now is "Kangaroo Care". This is a technique where they allow Mom to hold the stable preemie. The skin to skin contact that this promotes is said to stablize the baby's vitals and also promote weight gain when the little one starts to feed.
Congrats! I'll be praying for everyone. I sincerely hope Abigail continues to thrive! :)

right now she's too young for this one, once she's off the ventilator, her eyes have opened and so on- they'll probably encourage it. Katrina's already aware of the method.
They hardly let her see Abby once she was out, they needed to get her breathing first.
