Hazel enjoyed being held by her Granddaddy for the first time last night. He told her lots of secrets. She will not share what they discussed but she spent a lot of time smiling. Today we got the call Hazel is ready to come home! One of us will room in with her on Sunday night. The other will stay home with Cora. Hazel will be sent home on a heart monitor. She will wear it for about 4 to 8 weeks. Her reflux is getting better. She does not arch her back when she is eating and she is not acting like she is in pain. We ordered a swing today. It will arrive tomorrow. We are not taking any chances. Last night when Mama was getting ready to leave, Hazel was screaming sounds we have never heard before. There will be two swings, one for each girl. We are looking forward to having Hazel at home. It will be well worth the wait. Hazel weighs 5 lbs. 8.5 oz.
Cora has been wide awake for the past two days. Sometimes she would stay awake for up to five hours. We have increased the amount of milk she is getting and added the same formula Hazel is on to it. We will continue this over the weekend. If she cannot tolerate the formula we go back to just breast milk. Cora is excited about her sister coming home. She has missed her.
Hellow sweet girls! I miss you so much! I can't believe how long it has been since I saw you last. I think it has been about a month!
ReplyDeleteYou have both grown so much! Hazel, you are your papa all over! My goodness! Especially that cute little grin of yours. I know you are excited to come home. It will be so nice to be with your sister again. She misses you too.
Cora you continue to look just like your mama. And I love the adorable outfits they keep putting you in!
As you two get older and start running out of outfit opportunities, your Auntie Amy will take you on a shopping spree! :)
I am so relieved both of you are doing so well. This has been a very long ride for everyone and we are all relieved you will be home safe, happy and healthy (as your granddaddy would say)...
I can't wait to see you again!
Love,
Auntie Amy
Hey my sweet little munchkins! I could just squeeze you and nibble on your little ears. You both are soooo cute. Your Aunt Mel & Megan's March of Dimes Team has raised over $1,065.00, and there is still 30 days until the walk. Grandmaw was given 50 raffle tickets to sell as well. I sold all but 6, today @ the baseball game. Lots of the mom's and dad's asked about my little girls, especially Hazel as she was the one still in the hospital when we were there in Greensboro last weekend. Aunt Mel said she would give me some more to sell. This is all being done in honor you my Girls. Your cousin Bailey is staying with Grandmaw and Pawpaw tonight. She has already gone to bed. I can hardly wait to hold you both again. It won't be long now. Grandmaw will be there soon! Huggs & Kisses,
