So Many Great People

Through all of this we have learned that there are so many great people that are supporting Jason and I as we make our way through this journey with Emma.  We have gotten monetary gifts that will help with hospital bills, gift cards for restaurants for our time in the NICU, gifts to put a smile on our face.  Today we received a large box from the women who work in the Special Care Nursery at what I know as Foote Hospital in Jackson, Michigan.  My mom worked there for over 20 years and these great women sent us a special box of goodies today.  Emma received all kinds of wonderful gifts - it was like a baby shower in a box.  They also sent us a Foote Hospital knit hat, a birth sign, and a picture of Jason and I with Emma.  From the box you could tell she had her own cheering squad in the Special Care Nursery there - we will definitely be taking Emma by to visit when we head back to Michigan this summer to spend time with family and friends.

Tomorrow we head back to the doctors for Emma's weight check.  She has ate well every day, but today.  We think part of the problem with today was that she was so tired.  She woke up at 7:00am and only took a few 15 minute cat naps up until about 7:00pm.  Daddy finally swaddled her and then wrapped her up another time to calm her for the evening.  Since then she has been sound a sleep.  Hopefully this sound sleep will bring back our happy smiley baby since she has been fussy today.  

I was wanting to create a memory book for Emma with advice or thoughts from all her blog followers.  If you would like to have something put in the book, please email me at cloeybird at hotmail dot com (Sorry had to write it out like that, but don't want to get a bunch of junk mail).  Just include Emma's Follower in the Subject so I know it is for the memory book.

We will update about the doctors appointment tomorrow.  Hopefully she is gaining weight because she has a minimal wardrobe right now because she only fits in select newborn outfits.  

Again thank you all for the support and gift you have given us big or small throughout this time.  God Bless all of you!
