Here are answers to some common questions about our peanut.
Q: When is she coming home?
A: When she's gaining weight steadily and eating all on her own, from the bottle and directly from Mom. We don't know when that will happen; she's still supposed to be inside Mom! But she's making great strides and now eats much more on her own than goes through her tube.
Q: What's up with the blonde hair?
A: No clue! But Dad had blonde hair as a little boy.
Q: What color are her eyes?
A: Blue for now, like most babies, but that's likely to change. Lots of brown eyes and green eyes in both our families.
Q: Why is she sleeping on her tummy in one of the early photos? Isn't that bad for babies?
A: Don't try this at home. It's only OK when she's hooked up to a monitor that checks her breathing, heart rate and oxygenation, and when there are several nurses and a doctor to keep an eye on her.
Q: What's her personality like?
A: Sleepy. Easy to calm when she fusses, probably because she tires so easily. But we're told that preemies become very different babies once they pass their due dates and are at home!
Q: Don't you think she's a pretty baby?
A: Absolutely!
