Our baby girl has crossed the 6 pound mark! She is about a week behind when the docs wanted her to, but she is just suddenly sprouting like a weed. The clothes that she was swimming in last week (so big they were a safety hazard) are beginning to fit her. I am a very happy mama.
We follow up with the neurosurgeon next week and find out if she is healing well enough to get her stitches out. It will depend a lot on the swelling around her valve at the time of the apointment, but we have seen a great reduction in that swelling as long as we keep her at a minimum of a 45 degree angle.
She is becoming more vocal everyday and has begun making happy baby noises a lot. Of course with her new found vocal abilities we also hear more about what upsets her. Lol. I just love hearing from her either way.
I can't believe how normal life seems with her. I expected big changes and needing adjustment periods but that's not the case. Everything seems so right and normal with her here. (Don't ask me about this at 3 am, my answer may vary drastically lol).
No real new concerns this week. We are watching her left side as she seems to have so weakness in her left arm and leg and her left eye seems a bit droopy sometimes. We half expected this though because they think an in utero stroke caused everything. We will bring it up with her developmental pediatrician and her physical therapist in order to stay on top of any possible issues. But all in all I think she is doing well and had a great first week at home. :)
