Dana Sharon :) I have been MIA for a while, because our little blessing came very early- September 14 instead of November 8! I believe I shared this news before, but this is the first picture I took of her at home. She is doing well, she was in the NICU for 37 days because she took her time learning to eat. She came home on October 20 and sleep has been scarce, but is getting better :wink: School has also been scarce, but that is improving too. I am loving baby days, but I can hardly wait to start Little Hands to Heaven :lol: Dana was born 5lb 14 oz, and 19 in long. As of the other day she is 8 lbs 9 oz and 20.5 in long.

I've been wondering how you and little Dana have been doing! :D Congratulations, again, Lourdes! :D

She's so cute, and surely a beautiful GIFT from God! Many blessings as you raise her up for His glory! :wink:

Awww...what a sweet little thing! :D So glad to hear that she's growing and you're enjoying those baby days. How do they slip by so quickly?? My BABY just had his 1st birthday and has started talking...walking is right around the corner (kinda glad he's behind his siblings on this one). :shock: Thanks for sharing a glimpse of her with us!

What a beautiful sweetie pie! :D I could just hug her! She is adorable. Two of our 3 sons spent time in the NICU - it is a transition coming home (a blessing but also a physical toll), and I have prayed for you. :wink: Reflux is common in premies, so just thought I'd mention that in case she is having a lot of spit-ups or a lot of difficulty sleeping. Reflux meds can really help, have practically no side effects, and can be phased out as dc get older. Thanks for sharing her picture here, she is a beauty! :D
