I can't believe Emmalynn is 1 month old already! It seems as though time has stood still and flown by all at once. She really is doing so good and we feel very blessed.
At 1 month old, Emmalynn is 1 lb 14 oz and 13 inches long! She smiles when mommy talks and sings to her and loves to hear daddy read books. She is getting so strong and even turned her head to the other side (which is a no no with her tubes) and pushed onto her back. She likes having her hands up by her face and being swaddled, but sometimes likes to stretch out completely. She tried milk on her lips for the first time and her eyes flew open in excitement and she smacked her lips. Her feedings are going great and she gets 18 ml of milk every 3 hours that they add a fortifier to so she gets extra calories. Her kidneys seem to have (finally) kicked into gear too! The doctors still call her 'the little one' and her nurses always say she could just fit in their pocket.
Her cute nurse decorated her room and we brought in cookies for the doctors and nurses to celebrate!
The next party on the agenda (hopefully this week) is her 2 lb party!
