Little Feet, Little Victory

Every time we see her doctor he asks me if Maggie is grabbing her feet yet. No, I tell him, and then I proceed to give him a bunch of reasons why she might not be doing it yet: "she's still really tight and stiff, and we have been focusing more on her neck at physical therapy, and remember I didn't have any fluid so that made her muscles a little stiff since she wasn't able to move around."

But last night I am watching her on the video monitor and low and behold - she's grabbing her feet! Why is this so important? Beats me! But I do know it's a crucial developmental milestone for babies. Grabbing feet means her brain is developing...and that's good!

Funny I never even thought twice about these things the first time around, but with preemies every little milestone is a victory.  And a little victory like that means a lot to me right now....
