Lot's of Auntie Time & I keep Growing!!! :)

I sure do look pretty cute right here!! I was a grumpy princess when daddy got in, and it was just daddy.... Weird!! Well I was grumpy because I was hungry!! And I was wide awake waiting for food!! Daddy had to do my care first though ugh! My temp was 36.7C which is PERFECT! Then he changed my probe and because of no mama (where is she!!) daddy had to change my butt!! He did noticed how wonderfully healed my booty is getting which is great news! He changed me and put on my butt med's then it was FINALLY bottle time!! But before we get to that, lets get to today's stat line! It's Tuesday so that means its time to measure my length!! And I grew 11/16" in one week!! SO that puts me at 20 1/16 inches long!!! WOW! and my weight had a big jump too! I am now 6 pounds 15 ounces!! Holy cow I can't believe I am almost 7 pounds!! It seems like just a week ago I was trying to get to 5 pounds! It's crazy how big I keep getting daily! Also, tomorrow is my brain test so wish me luck peoples!! :) What else hmmmm oh ya the nurses are asking for mommy and daddy to start planing on staying the night with me sometime next week!! :) They do this to get mommy and daddy ready for me, the preemie princess!! Also they think my date will be sometime next week! What date am I talking about you say??? Oh it's nothing... only the date I WILL BE COMING HOME!!! Oh man it's sooooo close!! Well that's it for the daily news cycle. Now on to my feeding!!

Oh yes, thanks daddy I was pretty hungry! Then all of the sudden I heard someone coming... It was mommy and Auntie Krista!!! Yay!!! (I almost thought mama was not gonna come today!) But instead she brought one of my favorite people Krista!!! Daddy fed me about 20ML before I had to burp so daddy figured Auntie needed some preemie princess time so he handed me over to my auntie!! :) See Below!!

 Auntie was loving on me soooo much and her arms were soooo comfy I actually fell asleep!! (And look mama got her self in yet again ANOTHER pic!!! ) Oye now that I think about it I forgot I am supposed to eating right now! She tried everything to wake me up including singing me song about farm animals (I know it sounds weird but who is this old McDonald guy, and why does he live on a farm??? In fact what is a farm????) So daddy did the only thing he knows for sure wakes me up, he put me in a new outfit!! And yep that did the trick, so daddy handed me back to my auntie and she started to feed me again!

Yep as you can see I am wide awake now, and heck I am trying to hold the bottle on my own, would you look at that!! Crazy crazy! Buuuuut I started to doze off yet again, ugh! I was up for about 2 hours before daddy got here, so ya by now I am pretty tired, oh well :( I did end up eating 32ml though, so That's good!! Anyways I sure did miss you auntie Krista!! Please come and see me again soon, and before I am discharged out of here ok??? I just love my aunties loving time :) And yeah it's been a long day so its time for me start my sheep counting!! )

Yep as you see above all mommy had to do was put me back in my halo and lay me down and I was out! So goodnight world!! Wish me luck for tomorrow's test!! And maybe I will have a real discharge date here soon! :) I love you all, and especially you auntie!! Oh and Mommy duh! And of course you too daddy! Ok well I actually just love everyone so there!! :) Make sure you vote on my new poll too!! (Top right of the page people!!) AND FOR THE 50TH TIME..... Good Night World!!!

Car Seat Test DONE! & God Mommy Day!! :)

Well as you can tell by the title I had my Car seat test and well I PASSED!! :) But, I did have my air tube in my nose, so that kinda was helping me and if they take my oxygen tube out sometime soon I will have to retested. UGH. But if I have to go home with my tube I will not have to retake it, So in a way I HOPE  I have to take the test again! Because I sure do not want this tube when I go home!! Anyways My butt is doing much better! And I had half my feeds again by bottle!! AND I gained more weight!! I am now 6 pounds 13 ounces!!!!! I can't believe it, I am almost 7 pounds!! Craziness!!! :) And lastly I have my brain test on Wednesday! So again Wish me luck people!! Now onto my visit!! Today my God Mommy Came to see me!! AND to hold me!! :) See Below!

See the big smile on her face!! She has wanted to hold me for SOOOO Long and now it FINALLY Happened!! :) Yay for us!! I sure did love every moment of it too!! I was asleep when she first started to hold me but I eventually woke up and I showed her all my cool new faces I make and all my noises I make too!! We sure did have a good laugh too with my ducky faces and fishy faces I make :) Every time she would laugh I would smile too!! :) Ah it was a good time! Mommy came in on the action too, mommy sure does love to be in photo's with me! See Below!

My mommy is like me, she just loves the camera!! Especially when it is with me!! After a while I had to poo so god mommy handed me over to my mommy for my careful diaper change, and of course mommy handled it like a pro!! :) Thanks mama for keeping me clean!! Daddy Changed my clothes  and then re wrapped me back up :( That means its back to bed time :( Oh well it was sure fun while it lasted!!

Well as you can see I am ready to go!! Again thank you sooo much God Mommy for coming to see me and ESPECIALLY for holding me!! I loved every moment!! But its time to grow some more so I am off!! Good night world and I love you all!!

Family Loving Day!!! :) Good Times!!

First thing's FIRST, I finally got up my poll about my eyes so make sure you do that people's!! You can see it directly to the right of what you are reading!!
And As you can see above the daddy is taking my temp! And It was 36.9C which is VERY good!! And this heat was all done on my own! You see they wheeled out my portable heater today because my butt is healing!! That oxygen tube to my butt really did the trick! Now it may not be healed 100% but it sure is a lot better!! Now on to the weight! I weighed in today at 6 pounds 11 ounces!! Yes another gain!! Woo hoo!!! :) Other than all of that not a whole lot happened today, My car seat test will be sometime in the next few days so wish me luck on that one! And my final brain test is also sometime this week, and I will be sure to let you know when that happens and the results :) Now before mommy and daddy came in today my Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Andy came in to visit with me and to of course hold me!! :) See Below!!

Here you can see grandpa trying to wake me up, sorry grandpa I was really sleepy!! And besides I don't wake up till 7:30 when I get hungry!! Its OK I knew you were there and I sure did love all my loving from you!! It brought a huge smile to my face :) Then Mommy and daddy came in and it was grandma Debbie's turn to hold me!! See Below!!

Now what was supposed to be just grandma and me time got interrupted by Grandpa and mommy who all wanted to be close to me!! Which is OK I just LOVE being the center of attention to every one's lives :) Grandma loved on me for a while but then it was shift change for the nurses and my grandparents had to go :( Thank you guys sooo much for holding me!! Man I sure do love to be held and loved on by my family :) Now it was just daddy and I!, Daddy held me for about 30 min but I started to get fussy cause I had to poo!! So daddy put me in my plastic crib and the mama came in to change me! Even mama marveled in how well my booty is healing! SO she changed me and added my special butt powder and my new medicine and I was ready to go!! I was Hungry!! But first mama wanted a little bit of photo time with her little princess :) See Below!!

Now while mama was getting her photo op, I was STARVING!! So mama sat down and gave me my much needed bottle!! I drank about 30 ML this time before I fell asleep :( Ugh But you can see my mama feeding me below!!

But like I was saying I passed out while trying to eat so the last 30ML had to be put in my tube :( Oh well!! Today like yesterday I had over 50% of my feeds done by the bottle :) I am doing VERY good, and that means the end of me being here is REALLY coming soon :) I Should have discharge date here soon and I will be sure to let all my fans, friends and family know first!! :) Well with all that said, and after a very busy day of loving from 4 people, I am going to sleep!

So goodnight world!! This is a big week for me coming up! I will have my tests and probably know my discharge date sometime this week so wish me luck!! And again thank you EVERYONE that loved on me today!! Man I am a special girl!! And I sure do love you all!! Goodnight :)

Grandma Day! And Safety Training! :)

You see this baby above! This is a HUNGRY baby!! When mommy and daddy got here they brought my grandma Roberta!!! Yay! But before we get to all that lets talk about my butt! WELL it did not get any better in fact it got worse! UGH!! And the Dr's are all out of idea's so they changed my formula to stop me from getting runny poo's and they put an oxygen tube in my diaper!! Sounds weird I know but the air on my booty is supposed to help it, and god I sure hope so I am sick of being in pain!! Oye anyways guess what! I gained more weight again!! I am now over 3 kilo's!! That means I am now 6 pounds 10 ounces!!! Everyday is a weight gain lately! I am well on my way of being out of here! So much in fact that the nurses told my mommy to bring in my car seat tomorrow, so they can start testing me in it to see if I am ready to leave!! Also mommy and daddy had to watch videos on what to do in case something is wrong with my little pretty self!! So while they were being educated My grandma got to hold me!! See Below!

There is my grandma holding me :) Now she was not the first person to hold me besides my parents, I forgot to mention my grandma Rolene held me just the other day, and I have had hospital volunteers hold me when no one is available to, so no matter what I am getting loved on :) Now anyone can hold me!! SO if you would like to be apart of the fun just let my momma know and she will bring you to me!!! Anyways like i said earlier I was starving so my grandma got to feed me! And I drank the WHOLE bottle!! Now I think about 80% of all my feeds are being done through the bottle! So I really think as soon as my booty is healed I might FINALLY be outta here :) So while grandma was feeding me the nurses set up he TV so Mommy and daddy could watch how to save my life if they needed to :) And while they were doing that I just ate away getting all kinds of loving from my grandma :) Thank you!! I love you grandma!!! But eventually I was done and needed to be changed so that meant loving time was over :( and that also meant it was time for bed again:( So daddy put me back in my plastic cage and you know what that means.... Nighty Night time :(

Daddy got me into new clothes and you can see me above waving goodbye to everyone :( I had about 2 hours of loving time and now I am super sad it is over :( Oh well pretty soon I can get all the loving I want once I get home!! I love you all so much for all the time you spent with me!! And thank you again grandma for feeding me!! Man I was hungry and you did a great job!! So again this is goodnight time and I will see you all tomorrow!!!! :) 

 Oh and before I forget I still have not got the poll up about my crazy eyes, I will get it up sometime in the next couple days, I have been having technical difficulties :( Sorry Guys!!

Daddy Fed Me Today!!! :) Yep Thats It :)

It was rise and shine time for my mommy and daddy! You can't tell but I am waving at the camera right here! So hi!!! :) First things first, LETS TALK WEIGHT! I gained AGAIN and now I am 6 pounds 9 1/2 ounces!!! So that means on my 11 week birthday I have tripled my birth weight exactly!!! YAY FOR ME!!! Other than that, my booty got worse, ya big ugh, so they had to give me new medicine :( It was bleeding pretty bad :( Oye life is never easy for me!! But I keep getting through it all!! :) Once daddy came in, he took my temp which was 36.5C, which is just right :) then he changed my probe, and then he handed over the delicate diaper duty to mama....then the drama started..... First my diaper was STUCK to my BUTT!! I guess the new med's are quite sticky and the nurse just told mama to pull it off.... so she did.... and..... OUCH!!!! I started crying a little bit, and of course there was poop, so she had to wipe me, and she saw a bump thought it was poo so she rubbed it and.... OUCH!!! It was a scab and now it's pouring blood!! And I am pouring tears!! And my mama is POURING TEARS!!! Before I drowned in all the tears flowing from momma and I, the nurse came in to save the day and delegated my mama to wet wipe duty! My poor bum was bleeding pretty good and just as the nurse got me all cleaned up BOOM! Out came more poo! Oye! and them BOOM More pee :( Man oh man I just can't control myself!! So another diaper was taken out and another wet wipe and more scrubbing on my already torn up booty :( Oye after a while it was all over, the nurse  saved the day!! I think my mom used more tissue on her eyes than I did on my butt!! :) But it's ok, mama really I am a solider princess I can take it!!. Finally after all the drama it was feeding time and I was mighty hungry after all of that!! And it was daddies turn to feed me!! See Below!

Daddy fed me for quite a while! I was super hungry!! My momma got some nice pictures of me just showing this bottle who is boss!! Then she noticed something about my eyes...???... She thinks I have crazy eyes!!!!!! See below!

You see that crazy brown line!! Dad thinks I have Cat Eyes! Or that they are the start of going brown :( What do you people think??? Vote to side and let me know your thoughts about this subject!! And YOU better VOTE!!! Oh well back to my eating skills, cause I am still going!!

You see!! and with my eyes WIDE open today, well that was until I got full :( I could not finish, sorry dad, but I did drink 37 ML and the rest will just be put in my feeding tube, oh well!. I drank from the bottle 3 times today so I am very proud of myself!! And Ya I am pretty tired so its off to bed for me, Hey daddy hand me my Bink! Thanks Daddy!

Ah yes now I am ready to go to bed :) Well its been a great week!! Thank you all for living it with me :) I sure do love you all, and I miss all my other family members who cant always make it, but I love the fact you can at least see me on here :) The thought always makes me smile :) Goodnight all, see you tomorrow! :)

Annnnnnnnnnnnd that's all the news for today :) Other than of course my mama and daddy came in and it was holding time !! :) See Below!

Here you can see my mama and I holding hands :) We loved on each other for a good twenty minutes :) Daddy brought in the big camera today to get good pictures of these two beautiful girls :) Thanks daddy!! The only bad part of this whole idea of his was that I was ASLEEP the whole time!! Oye Sorry mom and dad!! After a whole lot of loving from mama I was treated with a surprise!! I found out I get to be held by daddy too!! Extra special day yay :) But before mommy handed me over to daddy she gave me a big ole kiss :) See Below!!

 Awe :) Thank you mama!! I sure do love you!! Next it was daddy time!! Now he did get me to open my eyes for a little bit, but mama could not get the picture!!! BUT FINALLY she did get the one below!!

I was like "hey mom is this pose good???" and after that is back to resting my eyes :) It sure has been a long week of growing, it was really nice today to just lay in my mommy and daddies arms :) Daddy held me for a while and he just loved on me a whole lot, and like mama I loved every moment of it!!! :) See below!!

But  of course it was getting late and I started to get restless and hungry!! And it was not bottle time, it was feeding tube time oye :( So no one could feed me today :( Oh well, daddy put me back in my plastic cage, and the nurse pulled out my booty and put me back on my tummy for more booty healing time!!

Double Oye!! I sure did really want my bottle though!! and I could not find my Binky so I discovered my HANDS!!! And they are mighty fun to suck on let me tell you!! See Below!!

A Lot of Growing Today!!!! :)

Hello everybody!! Well after all the big news from yesterday it would be impossible to top that day!! But I did have another huge day!! My growing just can't be stopped!! Today when the nurses weighed me I was 6 pounds SEVEN OUNCES!!! That is 7 ounces in 48 Hours!!! I am out of control!! I also grew in length!! I am now 19 1/4" Long!!! That's almost 1 inch in a week!! Since birth I have grown 5 pounds 4 ounces and almost 4 inches!!! Insane!!! I also have been A LOT more hungry lately!! Like today I drank my full feed from the bottle twice!! And by the time mommy and daddy came I was hungry and ready for my bottle, but I have to go every other feeding because the baby next to me gets fed at the same time I do UGH! Its ok..... For now!! Well anyways once my two favorite people showed up, daddy began my care and took my temp and it was 36.8C and that is GREAT!! After he changed my probe he called in mommy for diaper duty! Mama changed my poopy mess and put more medicine on my bottom. Then daddy came in and changed my clothes to what you can see above!! :) Afterwards it was daddies turn to hold me!! See Below!

I was sure excited to be loved on by daddy!! But my tummy was feeling funny and I had to poo again :( So daddy held me till I got it all out, then it hurt my poor raw booty so bad that I started to cry!! :( So daddy tried his hardest to lift me up to help me but I was still having a hard time ugh:(

This is me making my poopy face!! Hehehe!! After a while mommy picked me up to change me again and I was pretty upset crying the whole time!! But once I was clean and had my medicine back on my booty I was very happy!! So happy in fact I fell right asleep!!

I look like I just passed out!! But no I was sleeping very soundly and peacefully :) Before I forget My grandma Rolene came in today for 3 hours!!! She loved on me the whole time and got to see me tackle a full bottle!! Thank you soooo Much Grammy!! I love my visits with you and I can't WAIT to see you again!! I love you soooo Much!!!! And to the rest of the world I love you all and goodnight!!! Thank you all so much for spending your time with me everyday!!! :) Bye Bye!!!

Very Exciting News!!! It's a HUGE Day For ME!!!!!!!!!

YOU SEE!!! I FINALLY MADE IT OUT OF THE BOX!!! And NOW I have a plastic cage!!! :) I am on 100% room air and even though I have 4 layers of clothes/blankets on me I am doing A-OK!!! Man on man it has been 14 days of hoping that this would happen and it finally did!!! I am soooo excited!!!! :) But that's not even HALF of the big news of the day!! So let's go with weight next..... I am 6 pounds 4 1/2 ounces!!! that is an insanely HUGE gain!!! I will be 3 times my birth weight in just 11 weeks!! And that's STILL not all the big news, I also drank 51ML from the bottle last night and 41ML from the bottle today!! INSANE!!! It's like today I just figured it all out!!! Also the nurses and Dr's have already told my momma and daddy that they need to be prepared because I probably only have about 14 days left in my ICN care!!!! WOW oh WOW!!!! I knew it was gonna happen!!! Here you can see me and my new Halo Outfit just for Big girl Princess Preemie Babies, See below!!!

It looks funny but its fleece and keeps me nice and warm!! Under that I have my jammies on and a onesie, and over the halo I get my blankie, and I also have my hat so I am nice and toasty!! So how can this day get any better you say???? Well for starters my mama and daddy brought in my God Mother Amber!!! Whom has never seen me outside of my box!! So now She got to see, and hear me!! See Below!

She sure was happy to see how big I am have got!! She has never even heard all the crazy noises that I make now!! She loved on me as much as she could but the daddy had to step in for my care. (Thanks a lot dad I was being loved on!!!) First he took my temp which was only 36.2C, Which is NOT good! If I cant stay above 36.5C I will be back in my plastic box!! So the nurse stepped in worried and took my temp and she got 36.4C.... They were starting to think it maybe the AC in the room so they called in some people to take a look at it and brought me in a heater just in case :) So far so good. To be on the safe side daddy put me in a new longer onesie, and new pj's to get and keep me warmer :) He changed out my probe and got me all wrapped up for my mama who was gonna hold me :) AND She was also told she gets to feed me too from a bottle!!! :) Yay!!!! See Below!!

Now mind you I was really sleepy so I was only able to eat 8ML :( but who cares I did so well earlier its not that big of a deal :) So they just put the rest of it into my feeding tube! Then it was off to bed for this growing princess :) Thank you mama for trying :) I really love it when you hold me, and even my god mommy got to see it and love on me too:) Ah happy days :)

And now as you can see it's nighty night time :) And now ladies and gentleman the only things holding me back from coming home is that mama and daddy have to watch some special videos about how to take care of a preemie, I have to be used to room air for a week or so, I have to have my car seat test, and I have to start eating all my food from the bottle!! I sure do hope that I am off my oxygen tube by then!! Oye if I am not mama and daddy have to take the oxygen tank home with them! And we don't want all that extra work for them now do we? Anyways its bed time and I must go, and I THANK YOU ALL for all your prayers that sure have helped me get this far, I knew I could do it and especially with all your guys help!! And most of all thank you all for believing in this little preemie princess:) I sure do Love you all :) So goodnight world, see you all tomorrow!!

6 POUNDS!!!! YAY!!! :) Congrats to Me! :)

As you can see above I was Pretty Tired all day today!! BUT I did hit 2 of my 3 goals from last night!! FIRST As you probably read from the headline I am 6 pounds even!!! This is amazing to me!! I am almost 3 times my birth weight in just over 10 weeks!! This formula is really starting to fatten me up!!! Also I am back to a normal diaper!! (Well I guess I mean my diaper is back to where it normally belongs!!) So its back to normal sleeping for me :) Now I didn't quite get my crib yet today, but I think seeing how they have to change out my bed tomorrow, that TOMORROW might be the day FINALLY! But as I have learned (The hard way) I won't get excited until it ACTUALLY happens!! Other than that, business is as usual :) Oh and before I forgot Hey Sammi!! See my hair???? Hehehe :) Daddy and mommy came in, daddy put on some scrubs so that means..... It's Daddy Time!! See Below!

Daddy held me for about twenty minutes again, then I noticed my Grandpa Andy and Grandma Debbie came in to see me!! Grandpa kept trying to wake me up to get pictures of my beautiful blue eyes, but he kept mistiming it!!. And I was really sleepy, so the only thing waking me up was the noise the phone was making!! Its ok grandpa, next time I will try to be up for you! Grandma Debbie was loving on me and holding my hands, but I had to go potty and so you know I went!! So then daddy had to put me back in box and call in the mama for some heavy duty poop removal!! So then mama changed me then Grandpa played with me for a bit in my plastic home. See Below!

As you can see above I am trying to get away from him!! He is Crazy!!!! Just kidding grandpa! I was just stretching after being in my box and finally starting to wake up! Mommy and daddy were gonna try to bottle feed me today, but I have to be awake for that, and as you know I wasn't :( Ugh! Anyways once grandpa left and said goodbye my grandma came back in for her goodbyes, See Below!

Here grandma is saying her goodbyes too :( Thank you all soooo much for coming to see me today!! I am glad you were here on such a big day for me!! :) I love you both sooo much and you better be visiting again soon!! After that daddy came in and wrapped me back up for the night, after he took my temp (which he forgot to do earlier!) and it was 36.4C. It was probably low because I spent a lot of time with my door open and I was outside being held by daddy, either way daddy wrapped me back up good and tight :) and I got nice and warm, and nice and sleepy again. See Below!

Goodnight world, Maybe tomorrow will FINALLY be the day!! God I hope so!! And I love you all!! :)
