Look how I’ve grown!

Posted by aleena | Filed under Amy

This has been a crazy year for me. I started out 4 lbs 2 oz on April 28, now 8 months later I weigh 18 lbs. Here are just a few of my recent accomplishments: I’m learning to eat my veggies. I can sit up by myself. I smile and laugh (only if I deem you are really funny). I found my voice box. I love to scream. –Amy

One of the nurses from the NICU gave us this idea to document Amy’s growth with a teddy bear.

Speaking of nurses… The other day, JJ and I ran into one of the nurses (Kathy) from the NICU who took care of Amy. It took me right back to Amy being there in the hospital for those difficult 5 weeks. It also reminded me of how wonderful the nurses were that took such great care of her. It was amazing to see what they do on a daily basis. They have a special place in my heart.

This has been a great year for our whole family. In our memories 2008 will always be the year Amy was born. 2008 will be remembered as the year we witnessed a miracle. We can’t imagine our life without Amy now. And I can’t believe how fast 8 months has gone by. I feel so blessed, I can’t even begin to say how grateful I am for her and all of my girls.

Erika and Dad went to the technology museum in San Jose. We saw a familiar face and glasses with no lenses. If this makes sense to you, you will appreciate this photo.

Daddy loves Amy

Finally, a treat for everybody after all this time. There is more to come! Really.

There is no hope for this poor child. Still, we think she’s kinda cute.

She’ll be 3 months old on the 28th. It’s amazing to think she’s been with us that long.

Have We Got Some Good News For You!

Posted by admin | Filed under Amy

Somebody came home today.

Last night we got word from the hospital that baby Amy was scheduled to go home.

We showed up at the hospital at 10:00 this morning with our car seat in hand. We met with the doctor, talked with a few specialists and nurses, and waited in the parent lounge. Aleena fed the baby at the hospital for (hopefully) the last time. At 12:45 we walked to the car with our third daughter in tow.

It was a quiet ride home, aside from Natalie and Erika playing slug-bug. I just can’t get over the fact that this day has finally come. It is exactly 5 weeks since Amy was born. She was born weighing 4lbs 1oz and left weighing 5lbs 3oz. I can gain that in one sitting. We are all just pinching ourselves (I am pinching more than an inch) that she is actually here. She’s asleep in her bassinet as I type this treatise. I will hopefully wake up and have this baby waiting to eat or crying. We haven’t had a newborn around for 6 years.

The older sisters are just sooo excited. Both Natalie and Erika want to hold the baby and take care of her. We gave Amy a bath tonight and there was plenty of assistance to go around. We can only hope that this attitude carries on for a few more years and numerous diaper changes.

Thanks to everybody for all the love, prayers and support. It has truly paid off. Our precious baby has finally come home to her family.
