Butterflysnbees: Good morning! This is a big week for me. I'm starting to get up on my hands & knees. I even got my big pudgy tummy up off the floor! I learned to pivot my wrist last week. Mama loves to watch me twirl my wrist around. I'm sitting up for a lonnnng time now
Butterflysnbees: I returned from the bathroom to find Violet like this. Eva's response, "She was peed." {Eva loves to strip down Violet. lol}
Butterflysnbees: Look who fed herself today! To celebrate #121212 I gave her 12 cereal puffs, a new fave, and she finally got one into her mouth without my help. #milestone #preemie {almost 9.5m actual, 7.1 adjusted}

Butterflysnbees: Holding Violet in the hall leading to where I saw V slipping away on u/s. longest hour of my life. The BP u/s had to last an hour, it was unbearable. So glad I listened to my instincts though. Feels like just yesterday yet also a million years removed.
Butterflysnbees: My view right now. Waiting for M19 to get her labs drawn for her thyroid and hemoglobin levels.

Butterflysnbees: This. Sometimes I still get teary eyed when I nurse her & she snuggles into me like this. During her 1st month in the NICU I was lucky if I got to nurse her 1x a day. Some nurses let me nurse her 2x, sometimes I was told none at all. On days they deemed h
