I am a big girl!!

We have been home for 2 weeks now and we have already had 3 follow up appointments. At our last pediatrician check up, Zoë was 7 lb and 9 ozs. She is a big girl now. Preemie clothes do not fit anymore. She is wearing Newborn sized clothes. We can tell she has gotten bigger.

Next week to are taking another visit with the surgeon and the pulmonologist. Hopefully he will agree with us that Zoë doesnt need the oxygen any longer. We like the apnea monitor since it lets us know when she stops to breathe. Luckily it has never gone off while she sleeps and only when she is eating, but it has not gone off in a week. When it used to go off was when she was half asleep and trying to eat.
She is doing really good and we seem to have her routine down packed. Zoë also took 2 trips besides the Drs. On Thursday we all went to Home Depot to get tape to start painting her room (it will be done by Memorial day, right Daddy!). Then she took her first trip to Pei Wei. This will be her first of many trips to Pei Wei as Daddy is starting to train again to run another marathon in the fall. Today we went to eat lunch, went to Baby's R Us then to Ikea. She had a very busy Saturday. She did really well. I also swear that Zoë laughed the other day. She smiled really big and then it sounded like a giggle. Daddy thinks that I imagined it. She is a 3 month old stuck in a newborn body. She holds up her head and is awake during the day, more then your average new born.
All three of us are doing really well. More to come as things happen. :)
