At more than 7 weeks old, Caroline is mastering growth. She wowed our home health nurse today, gaining an impressive 27g per day since Monday and quickly approaching 5 pounds! That's right - progress that we have not known until this week - 5 pounds by the weekend. Reflux is still causing discomfort and lots of hours awake, but she's keeping the calories down. We can hardly wait to see what plans Caroline has for our big, bright world - it's true she's a fighter already. Georgia has her work cut out for herself - maintaining her large and in-charge personality.
We're closing in on care for Caroline when I return to work in just 5 short weeks. And Patrick returns to work on Monday, following 2+ weeks of paternity leave. Time is flying by, and leaves and temps are quickly falling as our hearts grow larger everyday. Constant reminders that we're on a journey and each day is to be cherished and treasured. May we continue to appreciate all the blessings of our lives and live with a spirit of gratitude for all we have been given.
