Well this week has seen Zoe Hope continue to settle into home life with us all. The boys are loving having her around (wait till she really shows her voice!) and enjoy it when she is awake. She sleeps about 21 hours a day and the three awake hours are at night. We hope to adjust her night and day over the coming weeks but as you can all imagine she has been through so much already we are just pleased to have her with us.
She had her 4 month immunisations on Monday and other than being a little unsettled seemed to get through without any real issues.
Nurse Rosemary came to visit her star patient on Tuesday and was so thrilled to see how much she has continued to blossom. It was so nice to talk about our journey with Rosemary who was present during the birth and looked after Zoe Hope in the NICU many times.
The community nurses came to visit on Wednesday and were pleased to see that she now weighs 2.5kgs. This puts Zoe on the 3rd percentile for weight for her age of 1 week but at least she is now registering.
Today she is 18weeks old. Again we are so blessed to have her in our lives. We continue to keep her in a well controlled environment at home so that she can continue to build up her strength, grow and more importantly keep her healthy.
Sounds like everything is going really well! So happy you are all home together.. thinking of you all.
