Remember When...

Remember when Millie was the same size as her boyfriend, Edward?

Boy have things changed! I think she is considering eating him.

Remember when Millie could wear her Dad's wedding ring as an arm cuff?

Now she can barely get it over 3 fingers!

Remember when we had this spacious one bedroom apartment?

Now we are the people with stuff in every nook and cranny.

Who wouldn't want to cram in this cute little bassinet for Millie?

It even has a changing table!


That's right. We set up Millie's "nursery" in the living room. We are considering making room for her in our bedroom, we're just waiting to figure out a few things first.

Happy 10 weeks, Millie!

Health Updates:
1. Millie now weighs a whopping 3 lbs 10 oz or 1651 grams! She gains about an ounce a day.

2. Since she passed the 1500 gram mark: we now only weigh her every other day, throw her dirty diapers away instead of examining and weighing them, and draw labs as needed! The next big changes will happen at 1800 grams.

3. Her eyes are now in stage 2 of ROP meaning her retinas are having a hard time forming. We will know next week if she needs to have laser eye surgery. We are told it is fully repairable, and done right there in the NICU.

4. Millie has a "sluggish" vocal cord, most likely from her heart surgery. This is why her cry isn't very loud. The doctor that examined it believes she will outgrow it. This could result in some eating challenges, but nothing Millie can't handle!

5. Millie is not allergic to dairy! So that means no more non-dairy diets!

Millie is healthy and growing like a weed! Even though she might be set back a bit with her eyes and vocal cord, we are still feeling so blessed. These are minor set backs compared to what others face. We know she will bounce back quickly.
