Then & Now

Vera has reached the 3/4 year mark. The 1st picture shows her at 2 months. Looking at it brings back memories. I recall the feel of her, light as a feather. Like a marsupial. Today, she's put on the pounds - from being below the 3rd percentile of normal babies' weight at birth, she's now at the 25th percentile. In fact, we have to watch her weight gain, as it could affect her mobility and activity.

To all who have helped us get Vera to where she is today, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Vera's milk mothers, T18 mothers who give endless support, Vasu her feeding therapist, grandparents, great grandmother, aunties, uncles, friends - you know who you are. And of course to the man who has given of himself so selflessly 24/7 to care for Vera...I could not have found a better man to marry.

Vera baby, happy 9th month to you!
