After a long winter of being cooped up Rosie went outside for the first time uncovered. This was her first time, because when she got out of the hospital it was already cold. Shes had a busy winter with a hospital visit that lased a week and all the growing she does. Shes 5 months old corrected age now and 8 months old actual age. She has to get only 1 more synagis shot for the season then the cold and flu season is over. Woohoo

Rosie out of Hospital

Rosie is out of the hospital she got out on wednesday. All she has to do is breathing treatments every 4 hours. She is weighing in at 13 pounds she was almost 14 pounds but lost a tiny bit this last week. She is starting to grab at toys, not holding anything yet. She is smiling and laughing. She has also mastered rolling from her stomach to her back (only because she hates being on her tummy now) She is also making eye to eye contact with people. Shes been trying babyfood for the first time also. Some foods she likes some she doesnt.

still in the hospital

Rosie is still in the hospital. They decided she actually has bronchitis and her lung collapsed and was sticking together. They had to give her breathing treatments every 4 hours of epinephrine and that has made her heart race so they are cutting down the breathing treatments to every 12 hours and weaning her off the oxygen. Her lung has re inflated. She looks so much better. I really cant believe Rosies mom has had to ask the nurses repeatedly to wash their hands, so I made her some signs. She should be able to leave Monday or Tuesday.

pneumonia

Rosie has pneumonia in her right lung and had to be admitted to the hospital today. So far she is still in our town, if she gets worse or gets a fever again they will sent her to Des Moines. I am going to visit her up at the hospital. An adult has to be there at all times with her because the hospital is so small there is not a nurse to watch all the patients. Right now she is in an oxygen tent. Keep little Rosie in your prayers. I will keep you updated.

introducing grandchild number 11

Well Alessa and Rosie are going to be big sisters. Rosie is going to be 8 months old on the 10th of march. Shes doing great no problems. Her birthmarks are starting to shrink. We opted out of the MRI. We were advised by the NICU and Rosies Dr that since she just got off oxygen they thought it was risky. So we are just keeping an eye out for any symptoms that mean she could have any growing inside her body.

The new baby is due in Aug the first due date they gave Nichole was July 25 which is Alessa's Angel day. But it changed after the ultrasound.

I have to admit, this new pregnancy has me a little on edge. Nichole's first pregnancy was a stillbirth and the next one was 4 months early. She will have a c-section so it will be a scheduled delivery. So I will more than likely be blogging more again as it seems to help during stressful times.

6 months

6 month checkup went well Rosie is almost 12 pounds she is off oxygen and shes graduated to 3 months corrected age. She got to see some of her nurses that took care of her. We also visted with another micro-preemie and his parents who were in the hospital the same time as Rosie.
