Woot! We made it!!! My baby made it to her due date! How awesome is that??!?! We are so thankful for her. If someone told me 4 weeks ago that she would still be in the hospital on her due date, I probably would have smacked them. :laugh: God knows what he's doing though. 4 weeks ago she was just coming down with RSV so obviously she needed to be there. God knows why she had to get RSV in the first place and we're not questioning it. She was in the best place to be treated for it. There are no more invasive tests in her immediate future and her follow-up stuff will be done after she has been discharged from the hospital. We've made it 99 days with no surgeries and no life threatening complications. Having seen so many other preemies suffer far more than she has, we are nothing but grateful and humbled.
She's a bit more alert this morning and her breathing is much more stable. It's funny though...the sedatives make her soo happy. Even when she's de-sating (low oxygen saturation) she's smiling. Everyone is running around trying to get her stable and she's grinning like it's no big deal. The nurses joke that she's still feeling the effects of her "happy juice." This is why you should say no to drugs, kids. Your heart rate is dropping and you're struggling to breathe but you don't even know it's going on.
She weighs 6lbs 10.25oz this morning! That's 10.25 oz this week alone! I suspect that has a lot to do with being tube fed a lot this week because of the sedatives and the fact that she's barely moved much in two days. Still, 10oz is awesome!

10 oz is PHENOMENAL! Due dates are an estimate. We hoped to be home by ours too but it didn't work out that way. She will be home soon sweetie! She is doing SO good. I am so proud of you and B and of course little Sydney. Hang in there, it's only a matter of time. We are so blessed. Reading your blog brings tears to my eyes. You are amazing!
Happy Due Date Day! I can't believe she is almost seven pounds! You and B deserve medals of honor for dealing with all of this the past 3 months.
It's Sydney's due date! Happy birthday 1.2 Sydney!
Lol.... 'happy juice'! God has His hand on Sydney, and He will continue to keep her, and her dedicated, awesome parents.
