Taylor’s First Week Home

Last weekend marked Taylor’s first week home. Mom, Dad, and River (the puppy) are much happier now that Taylor is hanging out with them 24/7. According to doctor’s orders, Taylor came home on an apnea monitor which measures all of Taylor’s breathing and her heartbeats to make sure nothing is wrong. She has already been to her first appointment with the pediatrician and we are watching her weight very closely. Although she’s just over 6 pounds, she is still in the bottom 3% of babies her age in terms of weight. The pediatrician ordered that she should get extra calories so we are adding special preemie formula to her bottles to make sure she is getting all the nutrients she needs to grow. Last weekend we took our first family pictures at home. Here are a few of our favorites.

And River loves Taylor too! :)

After Taylor’s first photo shoot on the back balcony – we took her for a stroll around the neighborhood.

Everyone had a great weekend! Thanks for praying for Taylor. She is making great progress and we are just so very happy to finally have her home!

    We’re so happy Taylor’s home! She looks beautiful! (and we’ve already shared your site with another NICU family… with triplets) We’re still praying for you and looking forward to seeing you when we get back.
