1470 grams, 1/12

Mommy is walking around the hospital on her own, and as of 2pm yesterday was off the magnesium sulfate that had been giving her such a bad headache. She even told Grandpa T that her 26th birthday just happened to be the worst day of her life. Poor Mommy but at least she'll have a good story to tell about it. Her blood pressure has leveled off and is now steady at normal readings. Who would've thought that I was doing better than Mommy! Now we are both feeling great and doing well. Daddy is super excited to have both of his girls happy and healthy. On to me...the nurses take care of me mostly during two chunks of time during the day. They want to make sure I'm able to rest up as much as possible. I sleep about 22 hours a day, so that doesn't leave much time for socializing. When I do open my eyes, it's a real special treat for Mommy and Daddy. I had lost about an ounce since my birth but have now bounced back up to only 5 grams below my birth weight. They measure me in grams instead of pounds to get a more exact measurement...since I'm such a tiny girl. Mommy's been pumping away, and I've heard through the grapevine that I'll get my first syringe full of Mommy's milk tomorrow morning. Super Mommy! To Daddy's dismay, he noticed yesterday that I inherited one of his not so favorable traits...his FLAT feet! Uhoh. Mommy and Daddy are really getting to know me and my quirks, and I can sense it's getting harder and harder for them to leave me.


















































Look at my beautiful eyes!
