Kelly, Louis, and Ruby

Our baby girl arrived 8 weeks early on July 7th, 2008 weighing just 3 pounds 3 ounces. After 33 long days in the NICU, Ruby finally came home with us and the fun began. We are one blessed family.

Movin on Up

Yesterday Ruby was moved to the Step Down/Graduate nursery! I'm so excited! She was supposed to wait until she was off of her IV nutrition completely, which will probably happen today or tomorrow. But, so many babies were born yesterday that needed to go to the NICU, that she got an early eviction notice =). On the graduate side, she will continue to work on her feedings. She is up to 22 ml per feeding, and 2 bottle feeds per day, but likely that will also step up today. She does well with the bottle feeds when she takes them, but they definitely still tire her out. She has to be taking all of her feeds by bottle in order to come home, which is 8 per day... Here is a new bath video, shorter so we could share it!



All done!
