Gabrielle aka YO GABBA GABBA :)

NEW UPDATES:
Gabrielle is growing fast! As of last Tuesday she weighed 7lbs 2oz.

As of Tuesday her age corrected to 1mth....that means that even though she is 4mths old (as of Friday March 19h) she is really only at the developmental age of a 1mth old.  She is doing really great..BIG NEWS She got her monitor off Thursday! I was so happy to get rid of that thing. It is so much more fun no having to worry about carrying it aroud. Gabba has been doing great wthout it too. Also she is getting better at lifting and holding up her head. She is becoming more aware of the world around her. She is really a nosey baby. If she is awake she likes to be sitting up looking every where. Also, we have been practicing on focusing on things. We have been working with a rattle. I shake it until she looks at it then I move it so that she follows it with her eyes and she is getting very good at that. :oP

Things have been going great but we still have some bad news. When we went to the doctor on Tuesday, she told us that Gabrielle's MRI showed that she has cysts on the outside of the right side of her brain (aka PVL) Dr. Voldoka (Gabba's neonatologists) says that this isnt something that could be life threatining, but on top of her being a 26 week-er and being behind the learning power curve, this could possibily cause her some serious learning and developmental issues. Dr. Voldoka has advise me to not look up the meaning of  PVL because it only gives you the worse case senario, so for now we are going to take it one day at a time and go with the flow. Gabba will be fine no matter what! She is a strong girl :) well that's all for now....TTYL
