Another day with no episodes! I really wasn't sure if she would do it, but it looks pretty good for going home on friday! We still have to get through two more days, but she really is doing well. In the past two days she's gained 6 oz, which is crazy!! As of today she is 6 lbs 15 oz, and I'm fairly certain that she'll be over 7 lbs tomorrow. I had joked with the nurses at the hospital a few weeks ago that we'd be taking home an 8 lb baby, and I was a lot closer than I thought! It's amazing to look back at pictures now and see the change in her. I'm posting below the first picture we got of her, when she was about 3 1/2 weeks old, and weighed just under 4 lbs. Look how much she's changed in the past 5 weeks!! Crazy...
I'm feeling a lot less stressed as well, so thank you for your prayers. We're taking this one step at a time and praying that God will get us where we need to go.
Tomorrow evening I'll be driving home, and then Thursday morning we'll drive up in one car do that we can ride home together. We've been surrounded by so many awesome people throughout this whole ordeal, but I'm ready to get home. With our daughter!
Oh wow, she HAS changed SO MUCH!!! Those are some great before-after pictures, love seeing her healthier and chubbier :-). Also super glad it looks like you'll be taking her home this week, I've been praying that would be possible! I'll keep praying that you could be less stressed through the transition. Keep in mind that SHE won't care that her wall decorations aren't done and that everything in her room isn't perfect yet... Babies have very low expectations for such things. All she needs now is your love and attention, everything else is peripheral. Keep up the good work, Mama!
