A Far Cry From 2.5 Years Ago

I was getting ready to update about yesterday's appointment when I glanced at the picture of Adeline passed out on top of me. It reminded me of holding her in the NICU. I would get her snuggled up on my chest and pretty much be hands free (except for tying to manage all of the cords and tubes). She wouldn't go anywhere. It was so strange that she wasn't heavy enough to slip down. Whenever I would hold both of the girls I would have to support Lila but Adeline would magically stick. I also remember fitting my thumb and middle finger on either side of her and having lots of room to spare. Kind of like wrapping your hand around a water bottle that is flush with your chest, but much smaller. Gosh, we have come a long ways. Here is a picture of her just a few weeks before discharge. I guess she had grown enough and needed me to support her. How did she get so big?

Just to reiterate. . .
