It's April 5, 2017 and our baby is turning six months old! I can hardly believe how she's changed and grown, and I feel like she just came home with us yesterday. Could this be real? So much has changed. We have a unique record of Eleanor's diet, pees, poops, and sleeps because we had to be so careful to monitor her intake over the last several months. She has gone from eating 15 ml's (half ounce) during a feed (once every three hours) to 140 ml. (Over four ounces) now. She continues to have formula and coconut oil added to her bottles and is up from 4 lbs. 11 ounces to 12 lbs. 15oz. What a big girl now. It's a far cry from those tiny preemie clothes. ❤ Well, let's talk fun stuff. Here are some of Eleanor's favorite things (complete with captions of course!)
jump up, jump up to get down... yay solids! I'm not sure about avocado... loving my yummy time!!! carrots are my favorite thing to gum on. I'm a big girl now!

I can't even believe it. Five months have flown by in a flash. Nora is almost twelve pounds and is rolling over like there is no tomorrow. She laughs now. It's the sweetest sound I've ever heard. We can't swaddle her anymore because our little Harriet Houdini somehow manages to roll in her sleep and ends up planted face down. She's too long for her bassinet and is growing taller every second. She sleeps like a champion. She is our ray of sunshine: the happiest baby we could ask for. We are undeniably and unbelievably blessed.
These things aside, it's never far from our mind that our little girl needs some "repairs." It's easy to forget that she has a heart that's unwell, especially because she's so full of life. But, she does. So we have scheduled Eleanor's surgery for June 13th and are anxious to get her patched up so she can feel her best. I am excited for the simple things we can do when she's recovered. It will be so nice to go do the little stuff- take her to the library, go grocery shopping, or even to walk around the mall! Being home bound isn't easy, so these trivial tasks will bring us a lot of joy. I can't wait for her to experience all the outside world has to offer. Anyway, going to keep this post short and sweet. Just wanted to provide a quick update. It's been a while since I have been back to work and harder to find the time to post! Thanks for the love and support as always. L |
