Olivia is home

After 93 days in the NICU, Olivia came home on Tue, Jul 8th. She was 5lbs, 10oz (2570g) when she was released from the hospital. As usual, first couple of nights went sleepless for us, not because she didn't sleep, but because we wanted to keep an eye on her. Karen is little more relaxed than I am, it will take me some time to get used to the fact that she doesn't need constant supervision anymore. But we must be doing something right, cause on Thur when we went to see the pediatrician, she was weighing 6lbs 1oz (2750g). Since she got into her schedule of sleeping and eating at the hospital, we are trying to maintain that. We feed her every 3-4 hours, and let her sleep in between. She is now taking anywhere from 4-5oz of milk (120 -150 ml) per feeding. To compare, when she left the hospital she was at 3oz (90ml) per feeding.

Some of you requested to see some pictures of Olivia. This is one of the reasons that we started this blog, so we can keep posting new pictures as she grows. So for those of you that haven't seen her picture yet, here she is:

Hey Marko, way to go on setting up the blog. I can't wait to see the interesting stuff you post when you are sleep-deprived. She is super cute and lucky to have you guys as parents. I am glad to have been able to know you and work with you. I will be checking in, so make sure you keep this updated.

Olivia is adorable. It's so much fun to see her pictures and videos, (and to see her in person.) Glad to hear she is doing so well.
