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.

She freaked out!

Yesterday Ruby woke up from a nap crying. This is very unusual, since usually she just wakes up and starts talking or fussing until someone comes to get her. This time was different. She had only been napping for 30 minutes, so I thought maybe she wanted her pacifier, but instead she progressed into full out loosing her voice crying! At first I was so sad, since she hardly cries, let alone full out like she was. i tried everything to make her feel better.

20 minutes later I was getting totally frustrated trying to help her calm down, which made me feel even worse. My heart goes out to all the moms who have babies for whom this is normal behavior! She calmed down shortly after, but seemed to be on edge most of the day, laughing and fussing in the same breath. Anyway, I was worried that perhaps she was getting sick, but after her late nap she had returned to her normal happy self.

She did cry again when it was time for bed, and it took to few extra rounds of the musical seahorse to get her sleep instead of the usual one. But she did sleep for 7 hours after that. I guess it's all part of having a baby, sometimes they just freak out for apparently no reason. Good times =)
