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!!!

NEW ROOM on St. Patrick's Day!!!

I HAVE A NEW BEDROOM! No more of that little one room apartment thing, I have moved into a room (well a curtain) with two boys. I'm a big girl now out in this room. I get to keep the two boys in line, and trust me-- I WILL.

Yesterday was St. Patrick's day and I got the cutest outfit on. It said "I'm Mommy's lucky charm". Oh yeah, that meant that I get to wear clothes. It's a preemie outfit, but I will not be in those for long if I keep growing like I am. Grammy told Aunt Becky on the phone last night that the doctors said I weigh 2 pounds 5 ounces now! I guess those half teaspoons add up! Not that I need to worry about my figure or anything.

I was able to go for three hours yesterday without my C-pap machine on while mommy was with me. To me that is really good. I really just get annoyed when they put it on me, and I end up needing to have tummy time. But I did really well without it yesterday and I was glad to see my mommy for such a long time!

I am beginning to reconize some familiar faces as all my nurses come to see me everyday! Thanks for taking such good care of me! I know that soon, I will be big and strong because of you guys!


Well I need to run!
Thanks for the comments... keep them comming!

Love,
Riley

    Riley, I'm so glad you got a new room. Pretty soon you will be ready for your own penthouse or condo! I talked to Mommy today and she told me how good you are doing. Keep those boys in line.

    Love you,
    Auntie
