Today honestly couldn't have been better. Ellie is doing so well.
One thing our nurse today was saying, is that Ellie acts like a 32 weeker. All along there was that debate, while I was pregnant, and confusion to go with it, that at a certain point she was 4 weeks behind. I remember us having to get to 28 weeks for her to stand a chance, not just 24 weeks, like normal babies. With all the commotion of her birth, I had forgotten about it, and was feeling down about a lot of it, especially since she doesn't do what other 36 weekers are doing. When Crystal mentioned that E is right on track for a 32-33 weeker, it jogged my memory. It explains her size and everything she does. Yes, she was born at 32 weeks, but the size of a 28 weeker. The only thing not affected were her lungs, everything else just needs to catch up.
Instead of comparing her to other 36 weekers, all I have to do is remember she's still small, and doing amazing for her size. She is who she is :)
I think she is perfect. Absolutely perfect.
