After I held Zoey during Kangaroo Care today for over two hours, she had a brief moment to enjoy some time without her CPAP vent. She was very expressive.

Posted by: carol rhodes at February 17, 2011 09:08 PMI wish you and your family the best. I am always eager to read your posts, but hold my breath for a bit when you post, hoping that it is good news.
There is a story in the Chicago Tribune tonight about a baby girl born at 23 weeks who is getting stronger every day and just got to go home.
I hope that your daughter continues to do well.

Posted by: alex at February 17, 2011 11:56 PMMy Irish grandmother used to tell me that when babies smile and giggle in their sleep they're remembering they're pre-birth existence in heaven where the angels passed them around from lap to lap and kissed them and tickled them and told them how pretty they were. (She had a very fanciful imagination).
Keep getting stronger, pretty baby!
Posted by: Kirstin Stein at February 19, 2011 11:26 AMKirstin, I like that little bit of imaginative interpretation. I think I'll share that with my wife.
Posted by: Ryan at February 19, 2011 03:51 PMGod bless her.
Posted by: Frank C at February 19, 2011 10:58 PMShe is adorable! I wish you and your family the best.
My daughter was born at 24 weeks, weighing 860 grams. She is now a brilliant, happy, beautiful 16 year old girl with NO major issues.
I remember vividly those early days - the ups and downs, the gripping fear, the constant what-if's. Hold on, and think of your future bliss. It comes.
