About Me

I was born on March 1st, 2009... 13 weeks earlier than expected. Both Mommy and Daddy call me their little miracle because I was born without a heartbeat. I only weighed 2 pounds and 2 ounces when I was born, but now I am growing stronger... or at least I think so! This is my story!

We're HOME!!!

I'm trying to stay out of trouble...

Over the past days I've been a bad girl. I keep giving my nurses trouble and forgetting to breath. The doctors and nurses said it is because I am just too tired to try to stay off my c-pap machine for so long. The doctor told me that I will have to stay on my c-pap machine for 24 hours a day until I learn to behave.. Hopefully it won't be long! I don't like wearing this machine! I wiggle and wiggle until I get my head out of my chin strap so my face is free!

The doctor also said that I can't eat anymore. My tummy isn't ready for me to eat food yet. So I got a new tube put in my tummy to try to drain some of the gasses and liquids. It looked like my tummy was going to explode it was so full the other day. My body just hasn't figured out how to let me go potty yet. Hopefully that will start happening soon so that I can eat some more yummy food. But don't worry, I am still getting all kinds of nutrients and fats through my IV's so that I can grow!

Speaking of growing, I now weigh 2 pounds and 9 ounces. I'm getting bigger and bigger each day. Mommy and Daddy notice how big I'm getting, because each day they come in to spend time with me and I get to lay on their chest and snuggle. Mommy sometimes sings me funny songs, it makes me fall asleep hearing them talk.

So much has been happening. I guess I am just hard to keep up with! Just imagine what it's going to be like when I get my first car and boyfriend!

Thank you for all of the love!
Hugs and Kisses.

Love,
Riley

  1. Riley, you are getting to be such a big girl! Auntie can't wait until I can hold you. You look like such a little peanut next to your Daddy. I bought a special picture frame just for your picture and took it to work so everybody can see you. Uncle Scott has your picture in his office too. And Brennan has you in her room.

    We all love you very much!
    Auntie
