We made our first trip outside the house today, to the pediatrician's office. She agreed that Hannah is doing great and was surprised at how alert she was. Carting around the oxygen and pulse ox monitor wasn't all that difficult, and Hannah seems to like riding in the car just fine.
She's now 6 pounds 3 ounces.
I just noticed that Hannah is still wearing her hospital ID bracelet. We've gotten so used to it, it didn't occur to us that we could take it off. Speaking of bracelets, Hannah had her own Paris Hilton fashion accessory while we were rooming in at the hospital, in the form of an ankle monitor to detect if she tried to leave the hospital. All babies get them, to make sure the parents don't steal their own babies before they are ready to leave. It's mostly a legal protection for the hospital, since they are responsible for the children until they are discharged.
Aunt Cat and Uncle Jon were Hannah's first home visitors yesterday, although Hannah was either zonked out or cranky the whole time they were here.
Some quality time with Mom.

Wow! 6 lbs. 3 oz.! That's great! You have both done such a wonderful job through all of this and are such an inspiration. May God continue to bless you.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you to know that friends of friends are still following Hannah's progress here in California and will continue to do so.
The fires were horrible (and still not completely out), so please pray for those affected by this tragedy when you can.
A friend named Audrey : )
