Preemie Power!

Whenever Isabella Rose raises her fist in the air like this I call it “Preemie Power”!

Isabella was born at just 26 weeks on August 5th, weighing one pound six ounces. We said from the beginning that she struck us as ”sweet and strong”. That continues to be our impression. She began feeding from a bottle on September 26th. Then she also began nursing on September 28th! She now weighs three pounds, five ounces (1.5 Kgs) - give or take a few grams. Wow! Carrie and Al continue to be wonderful parents. And Carrie has been recovering steadily from the Severe Preeclampsia and its attendant complications. Hurray!

Wonderful picture and I will be forever in your debt for sending all the pics and videos. They make me feel that I am in touch with my grandaughter and Carrie ad Al.

I thought Chuck was a saint but apparently there is room for two of you!

Thanks B2B!

Thank you Wendy! That "regular" preemie outfit is roomy, but she has already grown out of one of the "tiny" preemie outfits we bought her - hurray!

Hey DMM - Totally rockin' very pink Preemie Power!

Roo it is very cool indeed!

Hi Gail -
Thank you for your kind and generous words! It has been our absolute pleasure to document and share Isabella's first weeks with the family! We can only begin to imagine how hard it is to be so far away.
