There is not much medically to report for our Morgan, which is great! She is staying the course and passed the 5 pound mark over the weekend! She is currently 5 lbs, 1 oz. She looks huge compared to her first day with us. To be honest, I saw a newborn, recently, that weighed almost 8 lbs. I was so in shock that I had to ask the parents when the little rascal was going to be starting Kindergarten.
While Morgan continues to take her feedings from the bottle, we are noticing that she is becoming much more alert to her surroundings. She is looking around, waving her arms and beginning to whimper and cry more. Due to her continued improvement, she was awarded an addition to her crib...she got a new mobile! She loves to hear the noises it makes and she watches so intently as the objects move and spark her little imagination. Look at those eyes, as her mouth flaps wide open...
We are so thankful for her and her progressive steps toward coming home. We are looking forward to having her with us, but we will miss the wonderful nurses and doctors that are taking such wonderful care of her...especially at 2:00 am when she decides it's the perfect time for a fire drill...
Merry Christmas,
Seth and Elizabeth McCoin
Nate and I went and saw the newborn nursery when our kids were first born. Those babies looked like giant Buddhas!! Continued prayers for her. Next thing you know, she'll be 15 pounds!
