I'm One!

On Sunday, Emma turned One! It was a very special day. We celebrated at Grandma Julie and Grandpa Jack's house with a small group of family, friends, and our extended family (Emma's amazing nurses). It was so much fun to celebrate how far she has come in a year. She went from 2 pounds 1 ounce and 13 inches long to 10 pounds 10 ounces and 24 inches long. She has been home for more than 4 weeks this time around and is doing so well. She enjoys spending time with Mommy playing. She loves to bounce, swing, and play with her toys on the floor. She also loves to watch Playhouse Disney, although Mommy and Daddy can only take so much of The Wiggles and The Doodlebops. On Friday Emma goes in for a bronch to see if she still needs her trach. In all likelihood she will still need it for another year, but it will be good to see how far she has progressed. Another bit of exciting news is that we will probably be getting home nursing from 11 pm to 7 am, Monday through Friday in the next couple of weeks. We cannot wait!
