Newest Updates

It has been a long time since Kevin and I have updated the blog. Lots things have happened since we last blog. The last thing that we posted was for Christianna's 2 month check up which took place on April 16. Well, 10 days later was the day that she was suppose to be born, April 26.

Later that week (April 30), we went to our Special Infant Care Clinic. The doctors that we saw were neonatologists (preemie doctors). The doctors checked her over and said that she was going great. They said that she was going great. They allowed us to let her sleep 6 at night, which is exciting for us. Some nights she will sleep 6 hours but other nights it's 4 to 5 hours. The doctors weighed her and she weighed 6.6 lbs.

May 6 Christianna gave me a little scare. Kevin was on his way back home from Washington, DC. I fed Christianna and when I laid her down she throw up a lot of her food. I called the doctor and they asked me a lot of questions to see if they thought that she was sick, but after asking all of those questions they thought that she had reflux and they wanted us to come in to make sure. After she was checked out they decided that it was reflux. They put her on medication. Last but not less, Christianna was weighed and she weighs SEVEN POUNDS!!!

2 Month Check up

Kevin and I took Christianna for her two month check up. She now ways 5 pounds and 3.8 oz. We are so excited about it. We can't believe that she has gained 3 pounds since she was born. She has gained almost 11 oz in 10 days. She had to get 3 shots and did not like them one bit, of course, who would like to have them. The doctor said that she looks really good.

Eye Doctor's Appointment

Christianna and I went to the eye doctor's yesterday. The doctor said that she won't have to back until preschool. I am so excited. We also went to her doctor's office on Monday for her check up after being sick. The doctor said that she was doing well. We go back next week for her 2 month check up. Which means shots time. The doctor weighed her and she was 4 lbs 9 oz.

Good News

If everything goes well, Christianna will be going home Friday evening after her last dose of antibiotic. We hope and pray that she will stay home this time and not give us another scare. It's amazing just how much prayer works. God has answered our prayers once again. Thanks for all of the prayers.

FOUR POUNDS

Christianna has reached the 4 lb mark. She's actually 4lbs 1.4 oz. They were alittle surpirsed that she gain so much weight in a 24 hour period, so she may not gain any more today. She is down to 50ml on her nasal cannula, really close to coming off. God has really taken care of our little girl. She gave us a scare and now she is almost back to her little old self which makes Kevin and I really excited. Thank you again for all of the prayers.
