Today Mallani is 11 weeks old. It's really hard to believe that I would actually still be pregnant and that her debut wouldn't be for 1 more week and 4 days. Going to Baptist everyday multiple times surely has been exhausting, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Mallani has had a great week. She weighed in last night at 4lbs 13.60z. She is getting so big and is so cute. She looks a lot like Jim according to everyone that has seen her recently. She also got her nasal canula off yesterday, YAY! But they are going to monitor for the next few days to see how she does without it, so I am not going to get to excited yet. Her respiratory rate has been high, meaning that she is been breathing really fast, and if that doesn't drop down either, she will go back on the canula. Also, this afternoon they are going to start trying to bottle feed her again once a shift, so everyone please keep your fingers crossed that it goes smoothly this time. The doctor actually ordered it to be done today, so hopefully she is ready to take it. She has definitely come along way and we thank God everyday that she is with us. We appreciate everyone thoughts and prayers and hope to have our little girl home within the next few weeks.
Alison, my Dad, and Aunts Carmela, Consuela, and Torre (sorry, no picture) all took turns holding her too recently so I snapped a few pictures with my phone.
Love the pics! Mr. Deano looks like a natural!
