May it be the first of many. You can really see that she's grown in the new pictures you posted. It seems strange to say it, but congratulations on getting to change the poopy diaper!

Overall, the outlook is positive, but there are days with downward trends. Those days are the hardest and always come when you least expect them. I am glad that today is looking brighter for little Zoe. She is one tough little girl, just like her mommy. And yeah for changing her diaper! It is those little things that make all of the difference! My doctor’s analogy was that life in the NICU was like a stock’s plot chart with peaks and valleys.

I'm so happy you had such a perfect visit, and congrats on changing that diaper!!! I'm sure it's a moment you'll never forget.
