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.

TGIF

So apparently our baby bath video is too giant to upload. We're trying to figure it out, and suggestions are welcome =)

In the meantime, Ruby is continuing to digest her feedings well, and is holding at 15ml per feeding for now. We attempted breast feeding yesterday which was challenging for both of us, but its good practice for when she's really ready.

I got to feed her by bottle yesterday and today, and she did a great job! Although it's VERY different bottle feeding a preemie compared to the average newborn. As an added bonus, today she burped! She'll be as good as her mommy in that department in no time.

Here are some feeding and burping video clips for those needing a Ruby fix:





And here is Ruby making eyes at me and her dad... Beautiful!



Diving in for kangaroo care:




Laughing at how tired mom is?




And back to sleep with a full tummy...
