[...] you don’t have a Wrap Me Up you could do a standard swaddle over the top (as demonstrated here) but it’s been too hot lately for that and this seems to be a good in between [...]

Exercise this week has been little to none for me. Between my daughter being sick and now me, I just can’t seem to do it. Here’s hoping that I can get back on the wagon and get moving. Good luck everyone, sounds like you’re all doing great!

You’re entitled to feel how you feel-I read something somewhere about how NICU parents are very prone to PTSD and I imagine you just don’t recover from that in 9 or 10 months, but as Ellie continues to grow and advance, I hope the memories and difficulties and emotions of that time start to fade as they become overshadowed by the victories and the wonderful person Ellie is becoming.

Happy almost birthday Ellie! She may be moving on her own timeline right now, but I believe she’ll catch up before you know it in every.single.way–Ellie seems to have a lot of spirit and I don’t think anyone or anything is going to stop her!

Also, is it just me or has she had a growth spurt recently? She looks so long in that first photo!

Go, Ellie! Go, Mama! So much they have to do on their own but we have every right to celebrate them as if they were our successes too because they’ll only appreciate our worry when they have their own kids.

Wow, she is doing amazing things! Way to go Ellie! Its umbelievable that she’s almost 1, it seems like yesterday.

You could always do 2 celebrations- one for birth and one for homecoming.

Ellie looks wonderful. Your perspective on her development, your absolute faith in her, and her own stamina that grows each day will carry her to great things! Happy Almost Birthday!

I think it’s always a little bittersweet when your baby turns one. I know exactly how you’re feeling, well maybe not exactly, but close. I think it was actually you posting a pic of Ellie on twitter that made me realize, MY baby wasn’t a baby at all anymore! She’s a full steam ahead toddler now and I’m totally freaking out, especially since I’m pretty sure she’s my last. So yeah, happy and sad.

It’s probably not a good comparison, but Sophia was behind developmentally, at least physically for a while too, because of being in her brace for so long. And I’m sometimes worried, albeit irrationally, about her too. And clearly she’s running circles around everyone now. It’s hard not to worry, but try!
