One Month Old

Happy One Month to you, Miss Eva.

We can't believe you've been here for a month. You've changed so much in this short time. You've gotten bigger and stronger and continue to do everything that the doctors want you to do. So many times we've been told you're a superstar. We absolutely agree! We can hardly wait til you come home.

Some highlights:
Miss Eva is up to 3lbs. 12oz!! That 4lb. mark is right around the corner. Yeah!!

Some of that preemie clothes is really starting to fit now. The sleeves don't need to be folded and those little toes are actually starting to reach the bottom of the outfits--especially when Eva stretches.

Eva's hair is getting thicker and longer. Her nurse today thought perhaps she might need a visit to the salon soon!

Miss Eva has moved rooms. The NICU is set up in pods, each with several rooms. We didn't realize what a nice room Eva had for the first four weeks. We had a lovely view of Pikes Peak from the recliner where we spent many hours. On Friday Eva was moved to a different pod and the room she's in now has no window and has a completely different feel. We assumed all of the rooms were as nice as the one she was in. We were WRONG!! Apparently it's not unusual for babies to be moved around as some are discharged and others come in. They move babies to balance the nursing load in each pod.
