Eyes Open

The one comment I get over and over when people come to visit the first time is how small Tessa is in real life.

She is a little peanut.

Her eyes were open during "care time" the other night, so I snapped a few pictures. This was one of my favorites.

Her care times are every three hours, and generally include temperature taking, feeding, and a diaper change. At eight o'clock pm, she is weighed and her bedding is changed.

The boys have been having a blast in the play room on the 11th floor. During the week, we try to take them there often. We are gradually settling into more of a routine....albeit a crazy one:-)

I am falling apart at the seams, unfortunately. I cannot seem to get healthy. Trying to be all things to all kids; it is not working so well.

Many people have asked when babies this small tend to go home. Normally, it falls around her due date. So, according to that, we have about 9 weeks to go. Honestly, I just will be THRILLED to be able to take her home.

Thank you, as always, for the prayers taking to His feet on our behalf. Right now, we are just praying for weeks and weeks of boring. No infections, no NEC, nothing that would lead to surgical intervention, etc.
