Snooky Great

Mia continues to get bigger, she is now 13 pounds 15 ounces. Thank you God!! For the past 3 days we have been trying "peas" with not much success...I'll put some in her mouth and she'll push it right back out and then close her lips...pretty much the bottom lip covers the top lip...it's rather cute actually. So today I decided to try green beans and got the exact same reaction. You know we used to call her Bean before I delivered and we found out she was a girl...you'd think she'd like beans knowing that...but no, bottom lip out over the top lip. So I'm starting to think she doesn't really like the green vegetables...because this afternoon I tried squash with her and she loved it. Opened her mouth wide for more...so maybe she just likes orange vegetables...well, we won't give up on the green stuff, maybe I'll try a couple bites of orange and then one of green...we haven't ever mixed it up like that...hmm...I'll let you know what happens.

Eliza said...: I always mix in cereal to the veggies (and fruits actually). Maybe that would lesson the taste of them.

And I haven't forgotten about your sweet potatoes....I hopefully will be able to bring them on Monday - I'll have to put them in a cooler, but that should work. This is all pending on whether the sweet potatoes I got are actually any good.; 12:26 AM

Mia's Story

Mia was born October 12th, 2007. Lisa's water broke early at 34 weeks and she was in the hospital for 2 weeks because she didn't go into labor. During that time, they noticed a blocked intestine in Mia and determined that she should be delivered down at UCLA. So, at 36 weeks, Mia was delivered via C-section (because she was breech). We know that was a God thing because after she was born we found out her heart had not completed closing off the four chambers (an AV Canal) and a stressful delivery might not have been best for her. We also found out she didn't have an anal opening and her right nostril was blocked. Months later we would find out her skull had fused early. All of these things required surgeries. On May 1st, 2008, Mia had surgery on her skull and suffered a stroke during it. The doctors told us she would only "eat, breath, smile and laugh". People from all over had already been praying for Mia, but so many more joined in and she is truly a miracle because she continues to progress far beyond what anyone would have imagined. This is our blog to document that journey of our little girl, thank you for praying and we hope it will encourage you as much as it encourages us. God is good, all the time!
