So much has changed in the last couple weeks. Sora is now 5 lbs!  She is loving drinking her bottles and getting closer to coming home. We started the discharge videos and she is doing really well. We still probably have about a month before she comes home but it is going to fly by.… Continue reading 36 + 4 Getting Chubby

Sora has had a busy week. She had another bath on Wednesday and while her nurse was taking off the cuff on her foot it caught and then we accidentally popped her in the face. My hand was right behind her head and I didn’t even feel it so I know it more surprised her… Continue reading 35 Weeks Bottle Baby

We have a 4lb baby! She has had a busy week with baths, eye exam, and breast feeding. She is doing really well too. I am too tired to write out everything that happened this last week. Her eye exam shows ROP in stage two so they will be doing another eye exam next week… Continue reading 34 + 4

Last night was rough! Sora got 3 vaccinations, they cut her caffeine in half, and tried to move her down to a nasal cannula. Too many changes at once! She was doing so well when we went to bed and then in the morning when I called in to see how the night went I… Continue reading 33 + 5 Isolette Graduate

Today its Dad’s lucky day. My first time writing a post. I have got to spend a lot of time with Sora lately and it has been nice. She responds so well to our interactions. She knows when we are here even if it just means sitting bedside. Yesterday Brit was able to spend most… Continue reading 32 + 3 Abducted by Aliens

Our baby is getting big! She is just about double her birth weight and she is so cute. She is loving attention too. She looks for us at cares and lives to be held. When we talk to her she looks for us and breaths better if Daddy’s hands are holding hers. This was a… Continue reading 32 + 1

Sora is now breathing on cpap!  Which means she is not receiving any helper breaths from a ventilator just a pressure that helps her lungs stay partially expanded.  She is doing so well and was moved on Saturday to a new room that we really love with a little roommate that is her size. She… Continue reading 30 + 3
