Our little baby is starting to be a big little baby! Today Stevie weighs 4lbs 9.6oz (2090 grams) She is still almost 18" long. The nurse assured me that some babies don't get taller over a week's time - I just said as long as our baby doesn't end up being a basketball we're okay.
I thought I'd share Stevie's bathtime video from last week. They will let Steve and I give her bath on Friday night. We're very excited. It's really nice to be more hands on with your child. Not sure where on this blog it will attach. I admire people who are so computer savvy, it has taken me a lot of time to figure out how this works!
Today Stevie is 34 weeks!! WOW! It's amazing to think that she might be able to come home within the next month or so - depending on how she progresses. She is still on her oxygen, but her desat spells have been getting better. I can totally tell when she is holding her breath now so I'm catching on to her game. They bumped up her caffiene a bit to help her "remember" to breathe. This has also helped. We're so thankful each day for her. She's just pure joy.
Thank you so much for the prayers and support! Please also keep Jace McDougal in your prayers - he is still at Medical City Dallas - and Praise God he has been stable. He hasn't had any surgery yet. Please visit his site at www.jacemcdougal.wordpress.com
Love, Erin & Steve
