Work has gone pretty well. I've managed to only call to check on Marleigh once per day! Grandma is loving her time with Marleigh. I'm sure Marleigh is loving it just as much.
Sunflower Diversified came to the house today. They were here to check on Marleigh's development. They were so impressed with her! She was raising her head, moving her arms & legs with control, grabbing fingers, tracking things with her eyes, & cooing. She is doing so much more than she should right now. At this point, she should be acting like a two week old. They said that she is acting more like a two-three month old which is great! It can take preemies up to the age of two before they are up to speed developmentally. She is doing so well that they feel it isn't necessary to have regular meetings. They said we could wait & reevaluate in another six months. I really want to make sure Marleigh has every advantage, so they agreed to come back in a month to see her. I knew she was doing well, but didn't know she was such an over-achiever!!!
Our other big news of the day is that Marleigh is developing a social smile. Previously it had just been when she had gas. This evening Marc was holding her. He would kiss her cheek & she would smile. He must have kissed her at least 10 times & she smiled each time. It was so cute!
Love the great news!! It all sounds amazing! Best of luck adjusting being back to work. I'm sure it helps to know Marleigh is with Grandma. :) Keep updating us and share some pics of that great new smile if you can catch it!
