Coming Home and First Doctors appointment and pictures from the last few weeks!!

Molly is home I love having her home she is so sweet and so calm we love her so much! There were some very hard days while Molly was in the NICU I am so thankful to have her home she is wonderful. It took so long to get her home and now we start 2 months of isolation she isn't supposed to be around other kids and we need to limit her exposure to people because she is still so little. Molly went to her first doctors appointment today with her pediatrician he is going to monitor her weight very closely because she is having a really hard time gaining weight she hasn't gained at all since we left the hospital she is still 4 lbs 14 ozs so I will bring her in once a week to make sure she is gaining weight. We have to wake molly up to eat every 3 hours she still only eats about 1.5 ounces but other than her weight she looks really good she has failed her hearing test 2 times on her left side so we have to follow up on that but it is common in newborns to fail on one side. She did so good at the doctors office!! She is a stranger magnet everyone want so see her and ask me a million questions about how early she was and then tell me a story about some preemie they have known and a full term baby they have known and the differences between them. I love taking care of her she is so adorable and she still sleeps all the time. I love being her mom it took so long to get her here it is hard to believe I still have 3 weeks until my "due date" It was so hard to be at the hospital all day everyday and I never felt like I was doing anything right and I felt like it was my fault she was there It was hard to be told when I could or couldn't hold my baby and I never knew what was going on. I am thankful to be home!! Molly is doing so well Dallin and I are so happy to have her!!
