Me and my two little ones have been doing so great this week. Drake has been a good boy and we have been adjusting well. We haven't left the house by ourselves.... so that might be another story, but we are working on getting back to normal!
This shows just how little she is. She weighed 5lbs 13oz when she was born. When we left the hospital she was 5lbs 1oz and a couple of days ago she was 5lbs 10oz. So she is starting to gain her weight back.
Drake is getting more and more interested every day. He is going to be the best big brother and take care of his little sister- I just know it!!
A lot of people have asked me about when Laynie's surgeries will be. We meet with her plastic surgeon next week, so I don't have exact dates, but this is the surgery schedule:
6 weeks: She gets a palatal prosthesis. This attaches to the roof of her mouth and it gets tightened every other week. It slowly starts to bring her gap closer together. I heard that this is the easiest surgery, so I am glad to start with this one.
3 months: Lip and nose repair
9 months: Soft palate repair
Those are the surgeries that she will be having in the first year. There are some other surgeries that she may or may not need. Or some surgeries may need to be done in two separate surgeries. It is just a case-by-case basis. Her hard palate doesn't get repaired until she is 3 or 4 though!
