Little Myla certainly has a bigger head now than she did almost 5 weeks ago. It's still small but I can see it. Her head measures at 10 1/2" and she is 12 3/4" long. She always seems to have her eyes open anymore when we go to change and hold her, they roam around and sometimes they look beyond mom or dad to see who's behind us. I love her alertness and all the tiny sounds she makes for us, almost mousy-like, so cute!

Tomorrow morning we have a care conference with her doctor in which they said to have questions for them.....oh, so many questions..... Mostly about what to expect for the second half of Myla's stay in the NICU. I would love to ask if she can come home for Christmas, but I'm sure it's all a matter of time and whether or not she's ready by then, wait and see and stuff. We're just ready to have her home to take care of her all the time.

Alas, whatever's best for our baby! And we know she'll have plenty of holidays at home in the near future too. So, I guess the main thing is that she's doing great and we really can't ask for much more than that.
