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.

Another Chapter

Tired and happy is an interesting combo. This is my new normal and I embrace it! It's feel right...

Ruby is sleeping a little better between feedings during the night, as am I. She's eating every three hours, almost on the dot. The monitor, on the other hand, kept Louis and I up for hours two nights ago saying it was disconnected. It must have gone off 10 times between midnight and 4am, and I'm pretty sure Louis almost chucked it out the window. Sigh... In fact, most of the time it goes off, it's a false alarm. Ruby probably has about one actual event a day, during a feeding or just prior to spitting up. Thankfully they have all been self resolved in a few seconds. Hopefully she'll have none soon!

In other news, Louis is going back to work on Monday. I'm so lucky to have had him by my side for the last almost 6 six weeks. I'm grateful for that. We're both ready for him to go back work, but I know it will be challenging. So wish me luck as we begin another chapter!

Here's a video of Ruby's new toy... Thanks Grandma!
