We have a had a very busy couple of days. Friday night a family came over whose daughter also has D.S. and we had the best time. Ana, who is almost 2, lives right around the corner and is going to be a great friend for Brooklynn. It was nice to talk to a family who has gone through everything we have been through. There is just a pain that is there but meeting another family I got to see that is does get better.

We also had some very special visitors! Brooklynn got to meet her great grandmommie, Aunt Lori, and Uncle Terry. This is grandmommie's first great granddaughter. It was a short visit and we can't wait until they come back!!

Today is a football day. Daddy really wishes the Chiefs were playing but we will sport our gear anyways!

We went to the Dr. the morning and we were happy when we started and not so happy when we left. She takes after me and needles are not her thing!

Cheryl, our dietitian, also came to the house this morning for our weight check and Brooklynn gained 5oz!!! She is 7lbs and 6 oz. She also grew 1/2 inch which makes her 21 1/2 inches. All this progress in 1 week!!! She has been on a 24 calorie formula and we are moving it to a 27 calorie. The Dr. said they typically like do the heart surgery when babies are 10 weeks and 10 lbs. Brooklynn is 5 weeks 4 days. I am just so proud and in love with my little fighter!

We went on our 2nd walk today! We actually made it to the end of the street. I think we could have gone around the corner but a big storm was coming so we went back home.

Brooklynn has a Dr.'s appointment tomorrow for her 2nd RSV shot and a weight check. She has been eating about 14 oz the last couple of days and that is huge!! Keeping my fingers crossed that she has put on the lbs while I try to lose them =)

Tommy and I are proud to say that we have had our 1st child~ Brooklynn Marie! We love her dearly and thought this would be a great way to keep up with family and friends of our life in Beaumont! Today was a beautiful day and we went on our 1st walk. It was only to the mail box but it's a start....I was nervous to go too far because if she started to cry I don't think I would know what to do!
