Avery 27 days old

Last nights weight 5 lbs 11 oz!!!! This morning was really emotional! We headed off for Avery's eye apt and one the way it was like a tidal wave of emotions. A ride down memory lane to the worst day of my entire life - the day I learned that Conner was going to die. Everything was so familiar - the office waiting room, the chair i sat it when she gave me the news. It was 3 years (- 5 days) ago exactly - September 20th when my life was changed forever. Carl drives me crazy - but I have to say a huge thank you for being with me at these past couple of appointments - today especially - so I didnt have to go it alone. So - as we are starting our journey with our beautiful new baby girl - there is not one single moment that passes that Conner is not with us. I miss him so enormously. Avery did amazing at her appointment - in fact she slept through it. Just yesterday I noticed that she has a blocked tear duct - YUK! Just in time for her eye appointment. The doctor put some pressure on the duct - hopefully she broke through it - but we will have to wait and see. There was no sign of ROP (retinopothy of prematurity) and even more importantly NO cherry red spots (the hallmark sign of Tay-Sachs). So she gets an A+ for the eye doctor!
