Days all messed up, it is Day 80 and 39 weeks old

Yes, we have just a little while left until the official 10/4 date of where she would actually have been due.

Oxygen up, feedings from bottle down today, very angry most of the day, just not having a good time.

So it was not the best of days in special care. My days are running together, hard to keep track.

But, we will try again tomorrow. She has not gained but 7 grams in two days. Lots of movement.

But I don't want anyone thinking negative vibes, she will perk up soon, she is just getting used to all the action she gets from feeding.

Hopefully she will be better by the due date. When she was supposed to be here.

Can you imagine, we have all experienced her womb growth for 80 days all outside. If it was all normal, we would be driving to the hospital next week and have many goo-goo and gaa-gaa pictures like a regular birth. But I honestly don't want to say that I want it this way, because it is tough. We all wish it went the normal way, but we have made it all the way to here, and we will continue to make it until she catches up to normal, but there have been some joyous moments, and way, way too many stressful, scary moments.

Right now, it looks like her birth weight will be 4 lbs 3.5 ozs 15.3 inches long.

Small yes, but look where she came from. Wow.

I give her credit, she is feisty. Going to make a hard time for a little while on her parents, but it will be ok.

Lots of laundry if the spit-ups and diaper overflows continue......yes overflows. She is doing more than the preemie diaper will hold but the next size up is WAY too big. Would really make her legs crooked.

Maybe the foundation will be able to make a difference in the diaper area..soon.
