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.

3 Weeks

Yesterday Ruby was three weeks old! Sometimes it feels like time is standing still as we wait for Ruby to come home, but yesterday it felt like the last three weeks went by in the blink of an eye! It's easy to see changes in Ruby compared to when she was born. She's starting to fill out, be more alert during awake times, and make more noises too. She's always had a lot of personality, but even more so now! She makes Louis and I laugh on a daily basis...

They just increased Ruby's bottle feeds from 2-3 times a day to 4-6 times a day of 35 ml each! The is great news, and I hope she handles it. They also discontinued her Reglan, which was helping her digest, as they think she can do it on her own now. Yesterday she finished her first 2 bottles completely, although when I fed her she acted like she was being punished haha. Let's just say she's not the most graceful eater, but she's learning.

Here are a few weeks of baby Ruby at 3 weeks old:
