Little Chan-Chan (that's her newest nickname) turned 3 months over a week ago, but unfortunately for her 3 month birthday gift she got RSV (and then gave it to her mommy). So, getting a 3 month picture has not been at the top of our priority list.
When we brought her home from the NICU we knew that we were going to have to be very careful with her. We tried to keep her out of the "elements" during cold and flu season, but the virus seemed to find it's way to her anyway. We've been doing a lot of breathing treatments and just trying to keep her out of the hospital. She's been a trooper. We've had a lot of help from my cousin Paige (thanks Paiger!) She's been a lifesaver.
Please ignore her outfit in this picture. Changing her clothes is not something I like to try and conquer right now. It's hard for her to breathe when she lays flat on her back so we try and only change her diaper when we absolutely have to and just leave her in her nightgown all day. We also have her sleep sitting up in her carseat so she can breathe. It's funny that she looks so chunky in this picture. She's still a little peanut and doesn't even weigh as much as her daddy did when he was born yet!
Look at that smile!
I thought it was only appropriate to get a picture with her new best friend, the purple dinosaur face mask that we use for breathing treatments!

oh poor little sweet thing! :( Summer can't get here fast enough! Hope the recovery is super fast!
ughghghg. so sorry. at least she has got a facemask that fit her! Titus' is as big as his face. so, we took it off and just put the deal in front of his face. causes much less drama! :) i hope she's feeling better. we were told to continue the breathing treatments twice a day for two weeks with the propi(something or other) and the albuterol to make sure it doesn't come back. basically he's 99% better but we're only a week and a few days down. 5 more to go! bleh, yes, summer hurry up!
I hope that sweet girl gets to feeling better. She is precious, I love the smile too!
