Sometimes I wonder how I would work if I had to considering all the appointments Blair has. The life of a preemie is one follow up appointment after another. They really like to keep a close eye on these little ones, because in general they are high risk for all sorts of things. Since Blair has been home I can probably count on one hand how many weeks we have gone without an appointment.
Last week we had two very long appointments - one was about 2 hours long and the other about 4 hours. The thing is though, Blair is so good at these appointments they hardly seem like chores and on some level I don't mind going to them, because it allows us to get out of the house. This week I believe we have another Physical Therapy appointment, but I am hoping this is our last one. Blair was wanting to always look over her left shoulder and never her right, but I think with a little work we have gotten that corrected now!
We continue to go to all these appointments and everything seems to be OK with her. I think the doctors are always amazed at how well Blair is doing! I know Brian and I are constantly thankful for how well Blair has done considering she was born so early! At this point she is just a small baby trying to catch up with the growth curve, but she is trying her hardest. She is now about 8 lbs and 19 1/2 inches long - about the size of a full term baby. If she had been born on her due date she would be about 2 1/2 months old now.
