dd was born christmas eve 6 weeks early.....and today was the first time i feel like i am able to slow down and really enjoy her.  I think the good thing about her being early is that #1 she was completly healthy from the start but because she was early i got to enjoy a tiny baby longer.  With my son it seemed like he grew so fast i never enjoyed my tiny infant.  With dd i have been trying to slow down and really soak it in.  But with her being early and on Christmas eve it was crazy.  But today i really had a chance to just love on her.  I am back to work part time so i really miss her.  I think that has to do with really trying to set aside time to enjoy her.  I thought i'd post this becasue when you first come home with your preemie its so overwhelming....i wanted to tell everyone it gets easier.....try to relax and soak in every moment.  I think i am coming out of survival mode!

    I'm glad that you are able to take time to enjoy her.  Even as tiny babies they still grow up way too fast. Sometimes I look at my DS and wonder how he has grown up so fast, don't they know they are supposed to stay babies forever!
