Emily Update 5/28/2009

Emily now weighs 6 pounds and 5 ounces. She is 20 inches long....growing like a weed. She is doing great...had a small eye infection but it is healing up nicely...is starting to be more alert...and is also starting to really take off on her feedings and letting us know when she is ready to eat or wants more to eat...but all in all she is doing great.

Just letting everyone know...Emily is doing great...no real big changes going on.

Emily Update 5/20/09

Emily has been home for a week now and is doing great. We had an eye appointment today and she did so good...didn't fuss or anything while they were messing with her. She now weighs 6 pounds and 1 ounce...and is 19 3/4 inches long. She is such a joy.

We have reached a new milestone...Emily Marie Hendrix is home.

Emily update 5/8/09

Well I haven't updated because I have been with Emily for 3 days and staying down there. I don't have internet service down there and can't use my computer at the hospital. So when I get back to my room I can't be out in the hallway because it is after hours and I can't get internet in my room either. But there is not a lot to update about she is still trying to learn the bottle and that is hit and miss on that for her. As she wears out some times I'm going to spend my last week off with Emily so there will not be many if any updates. Emily's weight is 5Lbs. 11oz.

I'm so sorry about falling behind on my updates. Emily is now drinking out of a bottle..and doing fairly well with it. She is getting just under 2 ounces of milk a feeding. And will usually take all of it, but if not all at least half of it. And is doing great about not spitting it back up. She is usually waking herself up when it is time to eat... and showing cues that she wants to eat. All in all she is doing great. Again sorry for falling so far behind...I'll do better at least try to...
