11 Months Old

Hello, Suzanne here. We decided it was my turn to give everyone an update on McKenna.

It is hard to believe McKenna is almost a year old. She has come a long way. She is weighing in around 18 pounds. She is scooting around, but not crawling quite yet. She is starting to get the hang of waving bye-bye, and she loves to babble. She had tubes put in her ears recently. That went very well and we hope that keeps all the ear infections away. One change we have already noticed with the tubes is she sleeping through the night for us.

I think back to a year ago when we had our first 3D ultrasound. I was 21 weeks and had just started having weekly ultrasounds. We didn’t know it then that we had a little girl who would arrive only a month later. What a fighter she is.

Recently we got to see all the doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, developmental specialists and lactation consultant that all had a hand in helping our little girl at the NICU family reunion. We got to see a wide range of ages of NICU graduates, from 7-year-olds to recent patients. We know we are so blessed with McKenna’s health.

We are still not sure what McKenna is going to be for her first Halloween. We have some options so look for some pictures posted soon. Plus, we have a birthday party to plan so stay tuned!
