Nana & Papa hold Stellie

My parents finally go the chance to hold and rock their smallest granddaughter.  Stellie is 6 weeks old and weighs 5lb.

4 Weeks Old

Stellie is now 4 weeks old and weighing in at 3lb 12 oz.  She is doing great!  We are so happy that she is gaining weight everyday.  She is doing well on the c-pap and starting to slowly start to wean from it.  She is definitely in charge since she ex-tubated herself a week ago by pulling out her breathing tube!  She is maintaining her temp and now gets to wear clothes!!  Nana and I had so much fun clothes shopping for her!

Introducing...

Introducing Estelle "Stellie" Caroline!  She was born June 17 weighing in at a whopping 2lb 4oz.   As of  July 8th she weighs 3lb 5oz!  She loves her feedings and is gaining weight everyday!  She has been called "feisty" and "wild" in the NICU which is what she needs to be right now.  I think we have a real firecracker on our hands! As one nurse told me, "She is the feistiest 2 pounder I've ever seen!"  We are thrilled with how well she is doing and hope that she continues to do well.  A special thanks to her nurse today, Erin who got her dressed and posed for lots of pictures!
