30 Weeks gestation!


Merry Christmas!
 
Blakelyn has been doing amazing overall this past week. She is now up to 2lb 8oz (1130gr). Every time the doctor comes in and checks in on her they say "Not much to say, she is always doing pretty good just needs to grow." As you all can see she has changed so much this past month or even a few weeks.
Her oxygen levels are still kind of all over the place but they are doing better then they were a few weeks ago. The oxygen stuff will get better with age and that means time. She is now up to eating and digesting 22cc in full. That is going to help give her neck and airway the support it need to get the best oxygen possible. Overall this past week has been boring but we love boring, that means no bad news.
Her nurse last night told us that pretty much from here on out we are in the clear of the worst and its all up hill from here. We are so lucky to have been on the roller coaster ride we have been on. We have had it pretty easy compared to what it could have been. Our ride has brought Ben and I closer then we could have ever imagined. 

Santa did find his way in to NICU for Princess Blakelyn. The nurses all said she is very spoiled but I like to say she is super loved!!!!! This Christmas has been the most different but exciting. Even though she is in a bubble it is still fun to stuff her first stalking of many! We love being parents to her. Please keep sending prayers and good vibes our way. We have lots of growing and fattening up to do so we can bring her home.
Thank you for all the love and support we have gotten over the holidays. It has definitely been one for the books.
