doing better.

each day with Darla Jane seems a little better than the day before. She is still fussier than normal but we do get her to smile, and she will let us put her down now.
Some things that are new since we've gotten home...is her cute little nose turns blue when she drinks her bottle. (And not only her nose, but her whole face and arms turn blue when she is mad) We've also graduated her to her big girl bed. I've been asked if I sleep a little better now that she's in there, and the answer is not really...I have the baby monitor in out room letting me know when she makes any noise or her pulse/ox machine beeps. But she seems to like it. And at least one of us can sleep while the other is taking care of little miss.
And she likes best sleeping on her side. Over all we are headed in the right direction. Just seeing this cute girl with a smile on her face makes the cranky times and the long nights seem not quite so bad. And her incision is healing up pretty well too...

  1. Oh what a sweetie! I'm glad that she is doing better and I'm glad you posted, I was starting to have DJ withdrawals. I know what you mean about one smile making you forget everything else-she is precious!

  2. Oh, Mauri, that incision... But look at her thriving and sleeping in her crib. Amazing!
