Welcome to the Delaney Rose blog...

Delaney was born January 27, 2010 at 3:09 pm on a snowy Gunnison day. She was 14 weeks premature and weighed 1 pound 15 ounces. We survived 80 days in Grand Junction at St. Mary's NICU, and finally made it home the third week in April. We created this blog while living in GJ so that our friends and family could stay up to date on Delaney's progress. We plan to maintain the site and post when we can, so please enjoy!

Monday



Delaney gave us another good day today. Lots of kangaroo care for mom and dad, and a few friendly Gunnison visitors to boot. Jennifer and Meredith tried to spend some time at the park today, but Grand Junction's bizarre winter stifled them with bitter cold and wind. Wouldn't it figure that for the first time in several years we are having a mild winter in Gunnison, while Grand Junction is experiencing their worst winter in recent history. It's not so bad though for us Gunnison folk, but the weather gods could grace us with a little more sun and warmth.

We continue to receive cards and packages from friends and family, and hope some day we can pay all of your generosity forward. There are a lot of good people in the world, we can attest to that.

We have learned to take Delaney's weight each day with a grain of salt, but today she had a pretty significant gain. She gained 40 grams from yesterday, which is more than one ounce. Another 75 days and she'll have it licked.
