Three Weeks Old

Pyper has been doing really well since we were able to take her home from the hospital. She spent a little over two weeks in the NICU and we brought her home on Dec. 28. On Dec. 27 she weighed 5 lbs 1 oz and at her first doctor's appointment on Dec. 31 she weighed 5 lbs 6 oz. We just had another doctor's appointment yesterday, Jan. 7, and she was 5 lbs 12 oz. We are still on a 3 hour feeding schedule that has left us exhausted but it looks like it has been paying off. Because she is doing so well, we don't have to take her to another doctor visit for 2 weeks instead of 1 and that will put her right around my actual due date and we are hoping that she will still be doing well and then we will be able to switch to a normal newborn schedule of visits. In this picture she is three weeks old, but as of today she is a big girl of 4 weeks! She is a tiny little thing and we are happy she is growing so that she won't seem so fragile.
