Calla turned two weeks old and graduated to the big kids room, aka, the growing room last night. So we celebrated with her first hippie outfit, she was born in Eugene afterall. She wanted to celebrate by doing a photoshot with her namesake, the Calla Lilly for her birthday.
So back to the big news. We were moved down to the first floor NICU unit (the growing room), were the babies that are stable go that just need to grow and learn to suck, swallow, and breath. Which we all take for granted but it is pretty hard at first. She is definetly the smallest baby down there right now,by about a pound. She is definetly an overacheiver, we did not think we would be moved down there for a few more weeks. We still have at least a month here though, because she has a long way to go before she has the stregth and stamina to take in all of her food orally. She is doing amazing though and is up to 3 lbs. 10 oz. Her parents are so proud of her!

Hi Calla... Happy moving day and birthday. You are growing so fast. Grandpa L andgrandma L said you are doing great. I can;t wait to meet you in 39 days. Love Uncle Steve. Oh Hi Scott and Courtney. This site is great.
Indeed! What a great 2 week birthday preset... new digs! I hope the nurses are as great as the ones upstairs. We can't wait to see you again soon. I wonder if we'll recognize you. You'll be so big! But I'm sure we'll be able to find your parents. They're the ones with the giant smiles on their faces because you're doing so well. :)
Love from Corvallis, rebecca+jeff+calder.
I love the photo with the Calla Lily! Congrats on the move up.
Maybe later when she is home you can get some artsy black and white photos done with the flower and her?!
