Dear Baby Zoey
Attitude of gratitude!
Ahhh every time Mommy holds you she just can't believe that you are here. We have tried and tried anything and  everything to get you here, and finally after many years of pain and heartache you are in my arms...tears!;)
Mommy is so grateful for all the progress you are making and how much of a fighter you truly are.
You took a bottle (25ml) for the first time this morning. This is huge since they have tried bottles before and you say, "nope, I like my feeding tube just fine"! Lol
Now you are 4 pounds 7 ounces and 35 weeks gestation today...yay!!!
You have a fast heart rate and you sometimes have tachycardia.  The NP just came by and listened to you and stated you might have a little heart murmur. During rounds they will discuss if they want to do an echo on you. Also, you were suppose to have your eye screen yesterday but they suspended it for right now. There's a criteria you have to meet for them to do the exam and you are right on the fence. So they may or may not do one. But, other than that you are doing amazing considering how early you were born.
Our family is going out of town for a little vaca. Mommy wishes you could come with us but she knows that is a very bad idea. However, she as well as daddy, Ely, and Jace will miss you so much and mommy will probably call every five minutes to see how you are doing.

Love Mommy
