Breaking out of the Box

Today Winona said good-bye to living inside the box and a big hello to the outside world. There was no doubt in anyone's mind that she was ready to get out of the incubator. Her last act as its occupant was to unleash her intestines, both large and small, to such a degree that it was rendered unsuitable for further habitation. Winona is now in an open crib so I get to hold her as often and for as long as I want. These are glorious days. Another benefit of the crib is that she now gets to be dressed in all of the cute clothes that folks have been giving her. I never thought I would be one to get excited about playing dress-up, but I was wrong.

Our little girl is up to 4 lbs 8 oz and gaining fast. We have finally gotten the first word about going home - possibly next Monday. Thanks to my mom and Deborah Trimble, our house is clean and waiting for the new baby!
