A quick note:: Yes, we're okay...


…and doing well. We've just been busy, busy, busy. 

The baby came home on the 12th of February and I've scarcely had a moment to catch my breath, let alone gathering my thoughts together enough to write a blog post. Honestly, any spare moment I might have is usually spent with my eyes closed. So, please forgive me for falling so woefully behind in sharing here. I didn't mean for so much time to pass before giving an update.

The baby (still haven't come up with her blog nickname) is healthy and growing very well. She came home from the NICU with oxygen and that was quite the pain in the tush (she mastered the ability to find the cannula tube, wrap her wee fingers around it and pull it out every. time. I. turned. around.), but thankfully the home health nurse gave the okay to discontinue it on Feb. 27th, a week before she turned 2 months old. Two months old!?! I know, I can't believe it either! At her last weigh-in last Thursday she was up to 7lbs 2 oz. She's a fantastic eater and a fairly good sleeper…during the day. sigh. Yeah, we're working on that. 

Gotta go for now. It's time for me to get the kids their lunch and then pump and then feed the baby and then dishes and then run to the market to get some things for dinner tonight and….well, you get the picture. Before I jump off though, I'll leave you with some pictures I've been sharing on Instagram. Because really, it's all about seeing pics of the baby anyhow, right? ;)

  9. Happy to hear from you again. I have sent many thougths and prayers your way. If you need more crazy suggestions for blognames I suggest Little Miss Violet. She's so cute, and that big girl/little girl photo is adorable!
