Devry Anne Reeder

Born: 11.18.11

12:18pm

5lbs 8oz.

19in.



Poor baby has been in nicu since she was born. Since her birth weight was so low they ran checks for low blood sugar, a health baby is above 50 and hers was in the 30's so they took her to nicu to run iv and watch her blood sugars. Then she was having hard time keeping her body temp. up since she was so tiny and needed fat on her body. She wasn't eating very good from bottle so then they ran feeding tube. Doc said she is acting like 37 week old baby instead of a 39 week old and that she has low birth weight due to placenta deficiency. She is now breastfeeding and taking bottle at hospital and is more alert. She might be home for thanksgiving. This whole experience has been an eye opener and really makes me thankful that she is okay and health and there isn't any other problem. Her doc said it was good we got her out when we did or there could have been major problems. I will post some pictures of her when she gets home.

  3. Oh Stacey, she's adorable. I'm so sorry about all of the worries, even the tiniest problems make mommies crazy. I'm sure she will be just fine. Kadence had problems staying warm when she was born to. Keep us updated! I hope she gets to come home soon.
