33 weeks

Baby Pierce week!
I told you earlier that every week is marked by a milestone of a baby's birth! This is the week that my cousin Becky delivered my cousin William Pierce! He was 3 pounds 10 ounces at birth and only had to spend 2 weeks in the NICU! The thought of that makes me so happy! Each week is a week closer to normalcy. Little Pierce is doing so well and is so cute and happy. Pierce was able to start drinking half of his feedings from a bottle right away and had no apnea or need for oxygen. This makes me very happy and positive.
I took Mia on Tuesday to visit her neonatologist to check on her development and he wished me a "normal" delivery. I told him that is all we hope for. I can deal with pain for myself, I just can't take seeing my baby in any type of pain.
Mia is developing normally and is hitting all of her milestones as expected. She is 29 inches and 20 pounds. She is a petite little thing but so perfect. At 14 months she is wearing 12 month clothes! (though she is ready to move into 18 months very soon).
I also have to take this moment to brag about my wonderful Kevin. Since I went back to work he has taken over almost all of the house-hold chores. I leave for work at 7:30 to drop Mia off and by the time I pick her up and get home it is 5:00. My Kevin has the laundry going, dinner made, the bottles washed, the dishwasher loaded or unloaded and the sink empty. He is so wonderful. And to see him with Mia makes me confident that he is not only my best friend but the best father I could ever hope to have for my children. He is so excited about little Kev too! It is hard to believe that I am being delivered 6 weeks from today! I can't wait!
