Lastly.....

Kassidy has been home for 2 1/2 weeks now. Cant even believe it. I am so in love with this little girl. I love kissin those lips and chubby cheeks!! Yeah it is safe to say we make out all day!! Cant resist!!
She is thriving and making great advances everyday! She weighs 7 lbs even and is 18 1/2 in long. She has been gaining an oz a day just like the Dr told her too! She is still on oxygen, but we are weening her off little by little. She really loves having the cannula off. So we try to do that as much as possible.
Her 2nd follow up eye exam was perfect and the Dr said in all his 15 yrs he has never seen a baby as early as she was recover as fast as she did. She is well known now at the Moran Eye Center for being a miracle.
Her pediatrician has been really great too! Sam went to him too! He has been seeing her ev 3 days and then weekly and now she has graduated to ev 2 weeks. He asks her at each visit if she even knows she is a preemie because she sure doesnt act like one. He continues to be amazed at her progress. Makes me proud.
She is still really susceptible to infections so we do not let people hold her or touch her still. And if you are sick, just plan on staying away!
She is down to 24 calories and still takin her multivitamin and thats all. She had lab work done Monday which came back perfect. (Sam went with me and he rubbed her hand and said its ok, im here...aahhh so cute)
Kassidy is impressing us all, She loves to eat and is up to about 3 oz ev 3-4 hrs. Not sleeping through the night and really really loves momma to hold her. I wouldnt have it any other way though!!!
Keep up the good work little dollie!!


And that will be it for us.....All caught up!! You will have to keep clicking on older posts to get all the ones I did today!! Sorry, but enjoy!!

It is SO wonderful to hear how great she is doing! And thank you for the encouraging words about Kingston. These 24 weekers are truly miracles and SO STRONG. It is amazing what they go through. I hope Kingston and Kassidy will stay friends. He misses her but is glad she gets to be with her mommy and daddy finally!
