Being a preemie

It’s a very rainy suburban morning. Nothing like rain to put me in a blah mood. Hailey didn’t want to stop at 4 ounces of formula this morning, no, I had to put together another 2 ounces for her and she chugged it down. She was not happy sitting with me after she was done either, she wanted to be on the floor on her gymini. We’re hoping that if she’s laying on the floor more, she can practicing kicking and rolling. She hasn’t gotten that down yet. However, my friend’s 2 1/2 month old baby, has. It’s interesting to see the differences in our babies. Hailey’s prematurity becomes more obvious to me when I see babies that are younger than her, doing the things that she’s only picking up on right now, at 3 months. I know she will catch up and all babies progress differently. I’ve secretly been praying that Hailey starts to roll back and forth soon. I think it will be nice for her, she’ll be able to entertain herself better if she can change her own position to where she wants to focus.
