She is Growing

Happy Christmas Season!!! Lila had her second doctor's appointment since being home and she is doing great. She gained 13 ounces in one week which is excellent. They want preemies to gain one ounce per day and Lila did that plus a lot more. She now weighs 7 pounds 1.8 ounces, about a pound and a half over her birth weight. She did have to have a PKU screen again because the first one showed that she could have a thyroid issue so please pray that that test comes back negative. The doctor said that preemies frequently have false positive tests so that is what we are hoping for. And my worst nightmare... a stranger reached out and put her finger in Lila's hand, I will NOT let that happen again. Here are some recent pictures.

On the scale
Checked out by the doc
waiting to get poked, the scene of the stranger crime.

  2. A great way to avoid stranger touching is to wear her in a sling! I did it with Cade and most people didn't even know I had a baby in there! Lila looks beautiful!!

  3. Hi Scott and Terra. I'm itching to see Lila again. She is so sweet. It was so fun holding a baby again. They grow up so fast. I'm sure she already looks like a different baby since I've seen her. I hope to come over soon. Take care. Loves to Lila.
