The journey of a IUGR & Preeclampsia sufferer that resulted in the early delivery of our beautiful, premature daughter. Our daughter, Twinkle Toes, stayed in the NICU for 32 days, due to her early arrival, thus the name of this blog!

Twinkle Toes - you are NINE months old!
Twinkle Toes - you are NINE months old!
Adjusted/corrected age of 32 weeks!
What are you up to these days???
· You weigh 16 lbs 4 oz – this will be re-checked on 4/29 and updated then
· You are over 24 inches but this isn’t official
· You wear a size 2-3 diaper. 2’s are a bit too small for messy diapers and 3’s are WAY too big!
· You are wearing 6 months clothes but I'm putting you in 9 months also
· You had your first illness – an ear infection that I never would have guessed you had!
· You haven’t started eating table food – Mommy is just letting you lead in this area!
· You have a GREAT appetite. You eat 2 good solid meals a day but still gag on other snacks. You still eat several good sized bottles daily!
· You take two naps a day (most days). You will sleep anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Some days you’ll take 3 naps!
· Your night sleeping gets better some nights - almost 7-8 hour stretches! And then we will have a rough time of getting you down to sleep. You’re so inconsistent!
· You have two teeth – just the two on the bottom! It is so cute but I can’t get a picture since you never move your tongue!
· You are scooting and exploring EVERYWHERE! You can scoot backwards so very well and roll all over the room! It is fascinating to watch how fast you are now!
· You smile and giggle a LOT!
· You love sucking on your toes – with OR without socks on!
· You love to sit up for your bottle now – straight up!
· When Daddy leaves for work you just give him the biggest grin! You are a total daddy's girl!
- You are always so content and happy if we are out doing something. You also do so great out in restaurants!
- You love to explore your surroundings!
The last nine months have been the best of my life.
YOU ARE A JOY, MY SWEET GIRL!
