Carseat Challenge

Before being able to bring Zennah home, there was a CARSEAT challenge to see if she would maintain her breathing the length of time it would take me to drive home... She passed her 1/2 hour test... but.. Okay, that stuck with me and freaked me out. I'm driving, how can I see her face??? This continued to freak me out everytime I drove with her in the car for the next week.



She is super small in the seat, the buckle is wider then she is...

And then there was cat who got very fat

Now this little kitten keeps growing... this is one her one month birthday. Look at the cheeks, and let's follow lovey and how she shrinks.

Visitors

Everyone wants to see the new baby Zennah... We took turns bringing the kids in even Nana Bear, Grandma Jane, & Uncle Matthew got to see her. Her first visitor besides mom and dad was Uncle Matthew.

Progress

Mom was going to the hospital at least once a day and every time she or dad made a visit there was progress. She would either have a weight gain or be off some meds or assisted item.



Some of the big milestones were starting breast milk through tube feeding, graduating to a bottle, getting to breast feed.

I remember being sooo happy the night the nurse let me first help change her diaper, and then the night I got to hold her for the first time. Most would be the night the nurse said to me, put her to your breast and lets see what she does and to both of our surprise this little warrior latched on and went to eating. Mind you this has not stopped.
