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!

Last Monday we went to get Delaney weighed and to see what our future held in store. She came in at 9 lbs 5 oz, which meant we were able to continue with the breast feeding regime. This was certainly good news, but we are supposed to check in again in 10 days to see if we're still making progress. Sometimes small growth spurts can muddy the waters, so they want to keep a close eye on her. More good news came when Delaney passed her latest hearing test; the bad news, however, was that she had to get her latest series of immunization shots and we're hoping that will not impact her weight next time. She always has a few off days following her shots. Someone forgot to mention to Brandon that shots were on tap during the well check-up. It's just as traumatic for parents as it is for children.
Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa we were able to take Delaney on her first camping trip. It's a lot to take on tent camping with an infant, but with the camper we go in style. Even with all the rain we had a good time and look forward to our next trip. Brandon and Jennifer also realized this weekend that it was their 11th wedding anniversary- my how time flies.
