Sorry for the very long delay between posts, but any of you who have kids understand that our schedule is no longer our own. Anyhow, here is the update and photos that many have been asking for.
Our daughter, Mikayla Grace Herrbach was born on August 18, 2009 at 5:46 p.m. She was 7 weeks early and weighed in at 3 pounds 9 ounces. She was 17 inches long. As of todays post she is 4 pounds 7 ounces and growing fast. She is still in the Noenatal Intensive Care Unit here in Renown Hospital, but she should be going home with us soon.
Mikayla is advancing much faster than any of the doctors or nurses were guessing, so that is quite a blessing. She has been upgraded to nipple feedings for every feeding now which is the last thing she needs to be able to do before she goes home. If she can keep this up for a few days and continue to gain weight, we will be able to bring her home.
