Alexa Joy Potter is born!

Well, this post is about 2 weeks late. But, I just recently set up this blog so sorry for the delay. Alexa Joy Potter was born 8 weeks pre-mature on May 9th, 2006 at 9:15 a.m. She weighed in at 3lbs. 13 oz. when she was born and she measured 17 inches long. She's currently taking up residence at the NICU Nursery at Strong and doing just fine. She taking just about 1 ounce of milk each feeding now and she's fed every 3 hours. Mommy Joy spends quite a bit of her time over there. She's been feeding her and taking the best care of her. Of course, Grandma, Aunt Alicia and Papa Joe have all been to visit her many times. She gets lots of vistors. I'm pretty sure she's going to know who each and every one of us is when she comes home. Also, she's gained about 10 oz. these past 15 days or so. So now, she weighs almost 4 lbs. again (3 lbs. 10 oz.). She lost a little bit of her birth weight initally.
