"D-Day"

Yesterday was Leigh's official due date. Although she didn't get to do anything as exciting as being born, she did get her first bath from SHV. Here she is hanging out in the tub - she's a bit smaller than Cousin Theo but a bath is a bath.

Afterwards she got to hang out for a few minutes without her CPAP scuba gear. Too bad that pig snout was still stuck on her nose!

As for an official update, it's been a quiet week for our girl. All nasal canula trials and bottle feeds were put on pause so that she could rest and gain some weight. It seems to have worked - she's weighing in at 4 lbs 7 oz now! In good news, her eyes continue to improve so we're optimistic that she'll be able to avoid the laser surgery.

Way to go, Leigh! Big or small, we all have to get clean every once in a while. Even someone as big as Arthur, for instance. Welcome to the expected days out in the air!
