We got diagnosed a little of a year ago, can you believe it has been a year! I think back on it and sometimes feel it has flown by and others feel like it has been one of the longest year of my life. One thing is foresure, God is truly amazing! Natalie is so happy and is doing wonderfully right now.
We go back to Dallas for our first big check up since getting to come home at the end of May. I am excited to see our nurse friends and to let Dr. Zellers see how much she has grown. My goal is for her to be at least 17lbs, but we will see (I can always hope). She has been gaining weight pretty good, so there is a good chance.
Natalie is eating 3 times a day and loving food. She does not like green beans however, but that is okay we can work with that. She loves fruit and banana flavored oatmeal. I mixed oatmeal, bananas and formula together. I try to add either some formula or a little butter to her food whenever I can, anything to help add on some pounds.
She is finally starting to think about getting up on all fours. Anytime I put her on her tummy, she immediately rolls over to her back. I have really been working on trying to get her knees underneath her and putting objects that she wants (the tv remote) in front her to get her to crawl or scoot. She is a little behind in that area, but I can't complain with all she has been through.
I do not think she will ever sleep on her tummy like most babies do at this age. She is so sweet, she sleeps on her side all curled up. I will try to get a picture someday, without waking her up.
I wanted to thank you all for your continue support and prayers for Natalie. I truly believe we would not be where we are today if it was not for the prayers and support from everyone, thank you. Natalie is our little miracle baby...God is good!
