Happy Valentine's Day!

Our big little girl is doing so well! She went in for a shot on Saturday and weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces! She is just growing and eating, just like she should. She's even started cooing a little bit which is a nice change from all the grunting.

We went for a check-up with the eye doctor today. Her left eye has developed stage 2 ROP, but her right eye is holding steady. The doctor wasn't concerned about it, he just said we'll continue to watch it. So, we go back in two weeks! While we were waiting for her eyes to dialate, we met another NICU mom (not from our NICU, but we're all part of an elite club now.) Her twin boys were born at 28 weeks, and the smallest one weighed 2 pounds 2 ounces. He just got discharged four days ago. She was shocked when I told her how small Myla was, cause she looks so big and healthy now! Sometimes we look at her and are so thankful for the fight she had in her to be such a big girl now.

We've started putting her in her crib for her daytime naps. Its kind of a trick to find a place for the oxygen tube where she can't yank on it. But she does well once she gets to sleep. She looks so tiny in her crib. But she's almost four months! Where has the time gone!
