Aerin was extubated today and is doing much, much better. She's back on bottle feeds and will probably have her feeding tube removed tomorrow. She'll hopefully be home for good around her due date - December 18th.

Just wanted to let y'all know that Aerin is doing really well. She's on very little oxygen and eating like a little piggy and charming all the nurses. She'll be home this week.

That's such great news. I put Aerin on our church prayer list, I hope you don't mind.
My kids now are asking me about her a lot. "How's that baby doing - the little tiny one?" They were blown away by the picture in the blog of her in the hands - the one that really shows the scale of how little she was. They will be thrilled to hear she is going back home.

My friend just had a baby and we spent our lunch at work today reading Aerin's blog. She really got into it.

That is the MOST adorable cute pretty little baby in the world! No offense to any other moms (or to my own kids)....
Glad things are going well for you. I remember taking an hour or so to feed my full-term firstborn, and being exhausted at the idea of having to feed him again in another hour. After about 6 weeks he got on a more livable schedule, which I guess is your baby's adjusted age. Good luck! Posts: 1522 | Registered: Nov 2005

Thanks, y'all! Aerin slept throught the night last night, too. I keep reminding myself that this might not be permanent, but a girl can dream.
I'm actually a little nervous about Aerin's looks. I don't want all of her feelings of self-worth to come from her beauty and I don't want her to be conceited, either. On the other hand, I have to admit that I take a lot of pleasure in how gorgeous she is.
SO - I love the swing, but Aerin is ambivalent about it. She loves the mirror and mobile, but she'll only go in it if she's in the mood.

Mrs. M, I can't believe I took this long to read this thread and your blog. Oh my word, what a miracle baby indeed. She is SO BEAUTIFUL! And she sounds like a remarkably smart, tough, wonderful little soul.

I got my card from you, Mrs M, and I treasure my pictures that you sent as well as your message. It really lifted my spirits.
Keep an eye on the mail - the Post Office was closed today but I plan on sending something out to you tomorrow.

I just wanted to thank everyone for the love and support y'all gave to our family. It got me through some rough days and made the good days all the sweeter.
