Marlee,
Yesterday was your 38-week due-date. That was the day we had planned to meet you. I can't believe you have already been with us for almost 4 weeks! Even though the minutes seem to go slowly, the weeks have certainly flown by. It just doesn't seem like 4 weeks at all. I weighed you in on Wednesday after your hearing screening, and you were 4 pounds, 15.9 ounces...so you were sooo close to 5 pounds. I think you are probably at 5 pounds by today for sure. Just keep growing ok? You've been struggling with your last few feedings and not really wanting to eat. I hope you turn a corner soon and start eating stronger. Your brother really seemed to do better after he got a few ounces into the 5 pound club, so I am praying you copy him. We got some beautiful pictures of you and Parks taken on Tuesday with a professional photographer. They turned out amazing. You are so beautiful...I still can't believe that daddy and I made you. God really is an artist! I love you sweet girl.
All my love,
Mommy
Parks,
You are growing so good big guy. Mommy just went through a bunch of your preemie clothes and lots of them are already too small. You are long, and you are getting heavier every day. When I hold your sister and then hold you, I can really tell a big difference. We want her to catch up to you as soon as possible, but we are still very proud of you for growing so well. I think you are in the middle of a little growth spurt right now because you just ate a huge bottle at your last feeding...almost 4 ounces. That's a lot for you (your norm these days is 2-3 ounces when you take a bottle). When I weighed you in on Wednesday, you were at 6 pounds, 6 ounces! Yesterday and last night you had a rough time. I think you've had a tummy ache and you have been feeling pretty fussy and uncomfortable. You are sleeping very soundly right now though, so hopefully that got worked out. I hate it when you don't seem happy. I love you so much.
All my love,
Mommy
