Catch up

This may become long winded, I apologise in advance. :-)

We've been home now for 3 weeks and its been fantastic. She started having a few nights here and there sleeping straight through - last night being one of them (and I must say I was exhausted and therefore grateful).

We had a rough week last week with appointments. On Tuesday we had an eye appointment to double check that there was no damage to her retina from the O2. Retinopathy in preemies is common so it was just followup to make sure all was still good. It was... til the eye doctor scratched her cornea and we ended up spending Tuesday night at Children's hospital. I left home at 2230 and got home at 0605 the next morning....*grumble* only to have to be back at Children's for a followup RSV immunization shot. Between being awake all night and having to be awake to drive, I was pretty miserable by the time Wednesday night rolled around.

While we were out on Tuesday, I delivered Devin's birthday present. Part of the Parenting After Separation course I had to take last fall for my divorce, was to celebrate special occasions for your ex on behalf of your children... so I was doing so. Even though we had had a screaming fight the night before... even though I felt he didn't deserve it... I did it. Which he is now using against me *sigh*

Then Thursday we had an appointment for an MRI... they decided she was too small and refused to put her under anestetic while we had already fasted and were prepared for it and sitting in the waiting room of the MRI department.... so off we went to the pediatrician to get him to order a head ultrasound.

She's up to 6 1/2 lbs now and changing so much every day. And up to 4 oz of formula every 4 hours.

Its amazing how much little miss Presleigh has become more and more a little person in her behaviours and not just a baby. She looks alot like Devin, but thankfully she has my nose. She has alot of his behaviours too... she hates being disturbed when she's sleeping and loathes having her feet tickled.

We're 8 weeks old on Wednesday... and officially two months on Saturday woooohoooooo.

And I'm fairly confident that he has found this blog with the invention of the internet at his house, so again, I will be limiting what I say about anything in the legal department.

I'll update more soon!
