Joining the Kilo Club!

Anna has finally joined the Kilo Club! Although she's been hovering around that weight the last 2-3 days, the one nurse made her a Kilo Club Certificate to mark the occasion!

She is about 1003 grams still so no change there. They will try to c-papp her either tomorrow or Monday. So nothing has changed which is a good thing. She just needs some time to grow now.

Grandma and auntie were there today and although the visit was uneventful because Anna was sleeping, I'm sure she could feel how much she is missed and loved. We all can't wait until she's a little bit closer to home so everyone can visit more often!

I met a really nice lady at the hospital today who is from Peterborough. She had a son at 24 weeks from placental abruption as well and her little man is now in the Level II unit since he was 31 weeks old. So it gives me some more renewed hope that Anna will be just fine. It's amazing what they can do with today's technology. A few years ago the survival rate for a 24 week gestation baby was not very high and today I think it's something like 70%.

Anyways it's hard just playing the "waiting game" but we're really lucky that she doesn't have any major issues at the moment and that all we really have to do is wait for her to grow.

She is starting to plump out a bit and is already starting to look like a healthy newborn!

  1. She is so adorable in her little blanket.
    Every evening I hardly can wait to read her little stories. I hope to visit her soon.
    Love Liz.

  2. It's amazing how perfect she looks in person. Every little feature so perfect and beautiful like a tiny little porcelain doll. Can't wait to see her without all the tubes and tape on her face. Her hair is getting so long and it's so shiny she could be in a hair commercial! We miss her even more every time we see her, but we know we will see lots more of her soon!
