    Emily Rose

    Born on 05/24/2001 at 12:46 PM

    5 pounds 9 ounces and 18.25 inches long

       

      September, 2001

      Emmy visited Dr. Rahman on September 29. She weighed 13 pounds and 14 ounces and was 25 inches long. I have a feeling that she is over 14 pounds now. The doctor said that she is in the 50th percentile on height and weight; he said that she is caught up so he doesn't even use a corrected age (a forumla used for preemies that takes their due date and birth date into account). The visiting nurse or social worker or whatever her title is visited us on the 29th, too. She couldn't get over how big Emmy had gotten. She said that Emmy seems to be progressing really well. Duane and I are very grateful!

      Click here to see a picture of Emily that was taken over Labor Day weekend. She sure has changed! Sorry to those who keep checking in for progress reports. We have been pretty busy. But, here is a brief synopsis of how she is doing:

      Emily has been enjoying her time at daycare since August 20. They really take GREAT care of her there. She is one of the family.

      We have endured an ear infection (which included a trip to Anderson's ER) and are now dealing with an old-fashioned cold. Poor little thing...she is too young to know that she is supposed to feel bad. So, she will sneeze, cough or sniffle and then laugh. Too bad that won't last.

      She has a smile that will melt anyone's heart. Daddy will say, 'Give Daddy a smile' and she will smile a huge smile that starts at the top of her head and goes all the way down her body.

      She sure isn't the same baby we brought home on June 3. She has pretty much shrugged off the affects of her prematurity and is just like a normal old kid (thank goodness)!
