Monday fun...

GOOD NEWS!! Bree had her last eye exam for the next three months! She got the all clear from Dr. Golub today when he came and did her eye exam in her room today. There is no disease present in either eye! I did manage to get some pictures of the exam (which are not for the squeamish) so I will download them tonight when I am at home. She does not have to have another exam until May, and if that one goes well, not until her first birthday. That's exciting!

We were told that with ROP surgery comes the risk of Bree developing cataracts. However, we will take it one exam at a time. We are actually going to look into getting Riley's eyes checked because she seems to have an issue "finding" things when we try to point them out, especially if it is something that is far away....

Speaking of far away, It is so wierd to think of her first birthday. However, we have to remember that technically she will be five months old tomorrow. It just seems so odd because she is developmentally at a two month old. She makes eye contact constantly when awake, she even talks and coos at you. We were told that the talking and cooing is a HUGE developmental step.

Speaking of developing, Bree is 7 pounds, 13 ounces today! That's our big girl...we are going to try and get a consult with the nutritionist to make sure that with this new weight gain she is getting the amount of formula that her body needs to continue to grow efficiently. She changes on a daily basis, it is so fun to watch!

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy and in love with life!
