Here's another photo from tonight. Red hair and chubby cheeks...that's our baby!
Our little angel, Riley Alexis Skach, was born 12 1/2 weeks premature on June 2, 2009. She weighed 2 lbs 4.5 oz and measured 14.5" long. She spent the first 129 days in the hospital and was finally able to come home on October 7, 2009. Since then we have had the joy of watching her grow and develop into a very happy and healthy baby girl. She has come so far and we thank God every day for the miracle he has delivered us.

6 pounds
Riley officially hit the 6 pound mark the other night, and weighed in last night at 6lb 3oz! We have all these "preemie" clothes waiting for her at home, and she won't even fit into them now. No real changes other than that. They are continuing to up her feedings and phenobarb to go along with the weight gain. Her O2 needs haven't changed much this week, still hovering around 28-33%, and C-PAP level at 5. Need to get it back down to 4, so she can wean off of it and get back to where she was headed towards last week. She's still having little "episodes" just about every day, but hoping that goes away soon too.
