Three month old on 12/18

Wow! Three months have passed since Ashlyn's birth, and it's been a crazy three months! Ashlyn is doing great. We got the approval for her RSV vaccination, and we went on Thursday for it. She is weighs 12 lbs. 4.9 oz now, so still gaining great! Ashlyn is eating 4 ounces every two hours still, but as of last week she is sleeping 11-12 hours straight at night!!! Mommy loves that. She also has found her hands and feet and stares at them moving, it's so cute. Bath time is a nightmare, she hates it! But hopefully in time she will love it. Such a smiley girl now too and very talkative. Developmentally she is right on track, holding her head awesome and very alert, which is good because I was concerned with the low oxygen saturation she may be delayed or develop cerebral palsy but so far so good :) We go to the cardiologist and pediatrician next month and I will update about those appointments (1/9 and 1/18) and add some Christmas pictures. Last week Ashlyn got to meet her Uncle Tim and Aunt Karen from Connecticut, which was a huge, but great surprise! Brooke and Saphyre loved the visit too, but it was too short :( Happy holidays to everyone and also a big thank you to everyone for their help, love, prayers and thoughts for Ashlyn and our family. We appreciate everything! Merry Christmas!!!

One month after discharge

Yesterday was one month since Ashlyn was discharged. She is doing very well. We don't go back for a check up until next month, but I am sure she is gaining weight. She is now up to 4 ounces every two hours, sometimes a bit longer or more milk. She loves to eat! She is also sleeping longer at night, about two six hour stretches, and then three hours. So Mommy is getting a bit more sleep now! She is also getting really playful and loves her play mat. Here are some recent pictures of her and of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was her first holiday that was not in a hospital.
