Updates and bets

We are still here! Sorry, this work/hospital thing is tough. I fear I will be blogging less and less, but I will try my best to at least post pictures and mini-updates. I am trying to figure out how to post from my phone, but I am not smart enough.

Here is the latest and greatest on Quinn:

1. She is smiley and happy most of the time.
2. She loves her binkie, her Mozart, her mobile, and her bouncy chair.
3. Her eyes were the same this week. We are still keeping our fingers crossed that they improve and mature, so surgery won't be necessary.
4. She loves nursing, but has become ambivalent about the bottle.
5. She pulled my hair for the first time this morning. I loved it. It felt so right as I untangled my hair from her little hands.

Next Friday, Quinn will be 40 weeks gestation! This upcoming date is bittersweet for me. I am excited that we have made it this far, and that she is doing so well. I love that she has gone from a one pound scrawny little thing, to a plump and happy baby.

But, I am mourning the loss of a normal pregnancy. I find myself being insanely jealous of the round pregnant women wobbling into the hospital. I am sad that I could not carry her full term, and she has had to endure so much in her first months of life. I am grateful she is getting excellent medical care, but hating the fact that I will be still be visiting my full term baby at the hospital.

Since, I can't hold a pool for people guessing her date of birth, weight, height, time of birth, etc. I am doing the closest thing possible and going to have you all guess her weight and height on her due date. I will give the winner a special shout out on my blog. Oh and Ah, just what you have always wanted.
