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!

Delaney had a big week, and achieved several developmental milestones. Not only does her interest in toys continue to grow, but she finally discovered her feet and also figured out how to roll from her stomach onto her back. It may not sound like much, but it makes us feel good that she continues to head in the right direction. We went to Grand Junction on Friday for her latest eye exam. Her eyes were in good shape (have to go back in 6 mos), and we were able to visit with some GJ friends and stop by the NICU before we went home. It was nice to see our friends again (and show off Delaney), but also humbling to see anxious parents going in and out. Our hearts go out to them.

Last week Meredith finished up her fourth week of swim lessons, and has made significant progress this summer. She had a good time each night going to the pool, but her parents are ready for a break, and need to get caught up around the house with fall approaching. Brandon's deer survival project continues to keep him busy, and his fawn collars are finally starting to fall off. Picking up the collars was the perfect excuse the get the equines out in the hills this weekend, and Meredith enjoyed her first real ride in the woods. She helped pick up two collars, studied all sorts of mushrooms, and continues to get to know our new family member Sky. Sky is a special old horse that hopefully will give Meredith joy for several more years to come.
